Jesus, I Trust in You
“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat [or drink], or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds in the sky; they do not sow or reap, they gather nothing into barns, yet...Continue reading→
Biblical Morality: A Story of Love and Mercy

The Faith of a Child
“Let us weigh the gain and the loss in wagering what God is. Let us estimate these two chances. If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing.
