LOOK FOR THE LOGS FIRST

Matthew 7:5 You hypocrite! First take the log out of your own eye, and then you will be able to see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye. A speck or a smudge on a big background can be hard to see. In many instances, one has to really go looking to... Continue Reading →

ONE MOMENT IN TIME
