Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on May 6, 2024

Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on May 28, 2024

"The Power Of Endurance”

Contributed by Martin & Elder Nedra Wilson on Apr 12, 2004

I’m always amazed at the lack of endurance that is seen in the area of faith when it comes to the saints of God. Not trying to be funny at all, but overall the body of Christ is very lazy.

“The Power of Endurance” Philippians 3:13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but [this] one thing [I do], forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ ...read more
