The Jews of Rome were evicted from their homes by ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,143 views

    If someone is looking for perfection in the Bride of Christ, they are not likely to find it. People focus on an ideal symmetry, but God gives His perfection to imperfect. We will be perfected at the return of our Saviour.

Young women are trained by society to starve themselves in order to achieve a look they imagine will bring ...read more
