I’ve often said that there’s one passage of Scripture that if I consistently applied it to my life—then everything about how I live would change.
I’ve frequently written that I think the same passage is a primary reason many people find it difficult to follow Jesus—because this passage is so convicting and calls for such radical sacrifice.
I’ve regularly thought that this same passage summarizes my prayer for the ultimate result of my parenting—that my children would choose to live out

Don Revert, a U.S. Army veteran from World War Two is a rare man these days. He is a Centenarian who has proudly served his country. Born in 1912, he is now 100 years old.

This man was an engineer for the Army and he was in both theaters during the war, serving first in Europe and then in the Pacific. He built bridges and repaired roads in France and Germany that the Nazi’s had destroyed to slow the advance of the

What I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do. (Rom 7:15 NKJV)
