Contributed by Tim May on Apr 5, 2015

Have you ever had your world rocked like Caiaphas? You know where you think you've got everything under control and then wham life sucker punches you? This is the emotion of Good Friday. But Easter has a counter punch.

Provoking Thoughts From 2 John

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 10, 2022
