That is scientifically observable, determinable, objective and quantifiable, insofar we can know ...read more

Paul could look into his past and confidently say that he had fought the good fight and had kept the faith till the end. 2 Timothy 4:7 - I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept ...read more
