Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Sep 23, 2023

The kingdom began shockingly small, but, like a seed, had great power to produce imperceptible growth, automatic growth, and mysterious growth that will result in the glorious, eternal kingdom.

You Make Pizza, One Layer At A Time

Contributed by James Kirkland on Jan 28, 2009

Our spiritual life must grow as we grow in the Lord. You don’t start with a finished pizza, you must continue to add each layer until you put it in the oven.

Ancient Greeks ate flat, baked bread with ...read more
