It’s Worthwhile
So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless. (1 Corinthians 15:58 NLT) I’ve never known anyone who served God and didn’t think that it was worthwhile. The Corinthian Christians were aware of this fact.ContinueContinue reading “It’s Worthwhile”
A Message for You
The men with Saul stood there speechless. They had heard the voice, but they had not seen anyone.
