Handle With Care!

Demands Of Discipleship

Contributed by Robbie Parsons on Feb 17, 2008

Someone was talking to a great scholar about a younger man. He said, “So and so tells me that he was ...read more

Look Into The Face Of Christ, And See The Heart Of God.

Contributed by Don Schultz on Dec 6, 2001

Because we cannot ascend to God (which is attempted during the Christmas season), God descends to us, and gives us meaning and joy.
