Fighting Sin Admit it: you’re a sinner. So am I. In fact, the Bible says that we’re all sinners. That’s why we need Jesus. Because we can’t seem to get out of our own way when it comes to sin. We’re like the dog in Proverbs, repeatedly sticking our noses back into the putrid results […]
Was it this one? Or this one? Or this one? What about this one? Maybe this one? Or it might have been this one? I don’t know which article first made me aware of my phone addiction, but I’ll tell you what really brought it home: my kids. It wasn’t that they had to keep […]
