Relationships: Our Words
25/05/2014In James, the Bible describes our tongues as a "restless evil, full of deadly poison" and as un-tamable by man.

Relationships: Forgiveness

Dig Deep: Self-Sacrifice
16/03/2014When Jesus was here on earth, he did many things as examples for us to go and do the same. Things like washing the disciples' feet or remaining silent before Pilate when falsely accused.
