https://odb.org/2024/10/15/the-disciplined-life If you’ve been to a gym before, you will know that one can go there for cardiovascular exercises.

I am doing a new thing
https://odb.org/2024/08/13/behind-prison-bars I think it is important as a believer that we grow and progress in our spiritual life and not remain stagnant or backslide. We must leave the past behind and move on, not just past disappointments and tragedies but also past victories and achievements. If David had remained only with his monumental victory overContinue reading “I am doing a new thing”
