From Dan McClain… Romans 8:1-2 (NLT): So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. 2 And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death. As I’ve aged, I tend to not like stories that have time […]
Read more "Forget Regret"From Craig Swanson… Love Is a Verb Is it possible to love your spouse after many years of marriage as much as you loved them in the beginning of the relationship?
