Living in Light of the Gospel
We walk by faith, not by sight. 2 Corinthians 5:7 (ESV) If you’re anything like me, when you read the words, “Living In Light of the Gospel” you think about sharing your faith. You think about all the lost people of the world who need to know Jesus, but I’m coming to find that it means…
