I think we’ve make a mistake. We’ve allowed ourselves to love God’s messengers more than God Himself. We’ve fallen too deeply and too carelessly for their causes, their notoriety, and their truths rather than stand firm in the Truth of God. And when these, our bothers and sisters in Christ, veer off the narrow road, […]
“Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.” – Psalm 51:7 Over the summer, my daughter’s bedroom got a mini-makeover. We bought some new furniture and lighting.
