The Free Offer of Mercy in God’s Word

Thoughts on Physical and Spiritual Discipline

It is a beautiful sunny day here in Oregon, which is a nice change from the cold and rain we have been experiencing since what seems like forever. Earlier in the day I sat down to write my post for today, but I couldn’t think...
