The Pleasure Of Power Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 5, 2021

Power to do the will of God is one of life's greatest pleasures. Weakness that lets the flesh determine our direction in life is one of life's greatest pains. The great battle of life is between pleasure and pain, and which one dominates is determined by our source of power.
