While there are many things we need to surrender to God, there are some things that we should never surrender.

It’s almost a dirty word. One that nobody wants to use, and certainly not a word that anybody wants to be identified with. In today’s culture of shame, you can probably think of any number of words that fall in that category, and that society has taken to referring to by their first letter, as ...read more

Contributed by David Owens on Jan 10, 2022
