How to Love Your Neighbor
Practicing My Martyr Speech
Riding my bike this morning and listening to K-LOVE, the Newsboys had me feeling a little "Guilty" - "Even if it gets me convicted, I’ll still be on my knees with my hands lifted..." We've all seen the terrifying images of Christians around the world being...
