Idolatry Doesn’t Work
The truths in Scripture align with reality, which is why it works! The Bible is not only a unified story that leads to Jesus, but it’s also a roadmap for life.

Most of us do not enjoy feeling outnumbered in almost any setting.

Even though I know that I grow when I’m uncomfortable, I usually try tooContinueContinue reading “When You Feel Outnumbered”
