Walk In Humility

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Feb 2, 2021

To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God” (6:8). Humility is so vital, yet there’s ...read more

The Sacrificial Perspective Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 1, 2021

Selfishness does not care about the interests of others. It focuses on the self only. To give up this focus at all is to sacrifice some time, energy, thought, and possibly even some resources for the needs of others.

One of the major causes of human suffering is the fact that people see life from many different perspectives.

The Problem And Solution Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 2, 2021
