    First Baptist Church of Gaithersburg, MD: We avoid too much information because we know we will have to respond. Some escape into private piety; some escape from knowing themselves. But true bliss comes from knowing how to invest in Kingdom concerns.

My experience with it dates from nearly 40 years ago. In the spring of 1986 I was preparing to ...read more
