Love Life
Shortly after 9/11 there was an interview with an ISIS member who captured for me the essence of their heart.

Christ is life; HeContinue reading “Love Life”

Christian Character: Tender Hearted
Let’s Look Like Jesus: Tender Hearted Because thine heart was tender, and thou hast humbled thyself before the LORD, when thou heardest what I spoke against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before me; I also have heardContinue reading “Christian Character: Tender Hearted”
