Each of us has a significant part to play in God's plan of Redemption! And it is not a 'bit' part or role! It is a call to "fight the good fight of faith." Preparation is critical; even non-negotiable. More than Moses have sheepishly argued with "God
There is no pain quite like the sting left in the wake of self‑rejection. Yet, our own failures open the door to the possibilities discovered in the feeling and knowing of regret and guilt. It is bravery of the highest degree to plumb the depths of o
