Stages On The Journey

Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Apr 2, 2022

Like all journeys, the Christian pilgrimage through life has a point of departure, a destination, and a route through which we travel from one to the other. Verse 39 shows us a pilgrim who has just begun the journey. ...read more
