Contributed by Matt Hoffmann on Oct 14, 2009

In life there are so many different forces pulling on us. We are pulled one way by fear, and another by self-righteousness. But thank God that the Cross is always at the center, and nothing is more powerful than the pull of God’s mercy and grace.

Crossing The Jordan

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jul 22, 2011
