A Kingdom Picture

Contributed by Don Baggett on Jan 31, 2008

Jesus - Little Interest In Personal Comfort Series

Contributed by Dale Harlow on Mar 8, 2007

Many Christians today are guilty of thinking that Jesus wants us to be comfortable. Our comfort, at least in this life, is not very high on his list of what he wants for us.
