Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus

Romans 14:5-9 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike.  Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it.  He that eateth, eateth to the …

The Illness in the Churches

Long line... Why so long! Waiting. Waiting. Who's holding me up? What's there to see? What on earth could it possibly be? Every day. Work is done. And Waiting. Waiting. Inching. Crawling. What could they possibly have to see? Serious accident? It better be! I hate to wait. Inching. Waiting. Waiting. Crawling. Just a tiny …
