JUST A REMINDER

In your life, you would have come across in person or in reading history, people once haughty and proud, bold and unfazed in their approach to living.

PRESERVING SUCCESS

Mark 12:1 Then Jesus began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a wine vat, and built a watchtower. Then he rented it out to some tenants and went away on a journey. The easiest part of the chain discussed in the Gospel was... Continue Reading →

HOW DOES THAT CONCERN YOU?

John 20:21-22 When Peter saw him, he asked, “Lord, what about him?”Jesus answered, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? You must follow me.
