Contributed by John Gaston on Oct 5, 2022

We usually think of prayer as peaceful, but Paul described Epaphras as “wrestling” in Col. 4:12 with the word “agonize.” The same word is translated as "STRIVE" in an Olympic event and as "FIGHT the good fight of faith!" Join the wrestling match!

Contributed by Pastor Renji George on Aug 5, 2024
