Outside Of The Box

Contributed by John Telgren on Feb 11, 2017

The Bible is our standard and is what defines our freedoms and boundaries. It is important to spend generous amounts of time in the word in order to grow in knowing God and how God want us to serve him

Wisdom would seem to dictate that this, like many other things, should have a caveat to it. Many things pressed to ...read more

He Still Can & He Still Will!

Contributed by Bruce Ball on Jul 28, 2005
