A Definition Of Mercy

Contributed by Dr. William D. Poovey on Apr 29, 2017

A Definition of Mercy

Mercy A Definition of Mercy My own personal definition about mercy is this: Mercy is where we do not really get what we truly deserve.

Biblical Fasting

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Jul 24, 2017

Of course he also was a devout Hindu. Later in life he also fasted a lot, becoming thin and ...read more
