Contributed by Kristen Lowe on Apr 25, 2021

Can we be caring Christians yet still take time out to deeply care for ourselves?

Contributed by Dan Erickson on Nov 21, 2000

Our eternal salvation is secure because of Christ, but when it comes to the daily routine of following the Lord, we desperately need God's grace each day.

Every now and then I receive, or send, a package labeled "Fragile: Handle With Care."
