2019-10-10T13:55:32+00:00

We read in 2 Timothy 1:7 “You see, God did not give us a cowardly spirit but a powerful, loving, and disciplined spirit.” Unfortunately we rarely believe Paul’s words. Sure, sometimes [...]

If you ride the waves of the Internet you’ll find that Teddy Roosevelt, Thomas Jefferson, Franklin Roosevelt, Benjamin Franklin, and even Abraham Lincoln [...]
