Dave’s Devotions: Doing Life Out of Who We Are Chapter 10
Lately I have been thinking about the culture we live in. Just coming off a wonderful summer of overnight camp and seeing 480 of our kids give their heart to Christ I could not help but to think of I John 2:15 “Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If...
