Contributed by James Ledbetter on Jul 23, 2019

Oftentimes, when we see the road ahead getting rough, we want to give up and quit. God never promised us a road of roses, but he did promise us a way to victory.

I can relate. 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 shouts it plain and clear. When we come to the knowledge of ...read more
