A word we don't like is submission. We certainly don't like it when we feel as if we're being wronged somehow. “Submission” is the key ingredient that enables a Christian to live a good life among the ungodly!

And they will address the question, “what lessons did we learn from all of this?” And I’m confident that much of that will be helpful. Looking ...read more

Contributed by Dennis King on Jul 21, 2018

This touches on the inmates that convert to Christ while incarcerated and, often times, the hypocritical criticisms directed towards them.
