Last week, Brother Daniel said something that I have been thinking about. He said that when we look at life, we know that things are not supposed to be the way they are. When we look at a loved one dying of cancer, we know that things are not supposed to be like this. When […]

1 Cor 3:10-17, 9/11: Rebuilding from Ground Zero (pt 4 of 4)
I want to ask one final question — if it’s so obvious that Christians ought to build with imperishable materials — God and people — then why does it seem that so few build their lives in this way? The key is what I mentioned earlier — surrender. It is highly unlikely that you will […]
