I worshiped eight idols today. No, I’m not exaggerating. I worshiped eight different idols in less than 24 hours—and that doesn't even include all of them.
I Worshipped 8 Idols Today
You Don’t Have to Be Superman to Be Courageous
Courage is more common than we think. Every single day, we are faced with opportunities to be strong and courageous…or to fearfully back down. I often choose to fearfully back down.

1 Thing to Remember During Seasons of Spiritual Dryness
