So Near And Yet So Far

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Sep 14, 2009

A couple of years ago, when my wife and I were touring England, we were in Victoria Station, one of the ...read more

(Luke 9:62 KJV) And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. I believe that ...read more

Tagging Along Or Truly Following Jesus

Contributed by Greg Nance on Mar 1, 2008
