    I want to answer one question this morning: How Do You Know if You are a Genuine Believer?

    Can you remember a time when you were truly offended? I’ll be 53 later this year, and I was recently asked if I’d like the “senior discount” at a nearby restaurant.

    Lent 1: Why is it important for the Christian to be aware of Temptation? How does the Bible talk about temptation? What are the sources of temptation? How can we break the chain of events that take us from temptation to sin? (This is Part 1 of 3)

Listen to how this old guy applies it: “...temptation can be ...read more
