First Baptist Church sat in a quiet rural town, just off the main street. The hall, newlyupdated with comfy seats and a visual display, seated about fifty people, and the pastor’soffice was connected to that.

I have been wanting to write an article about my idols for a while now. Even though I have been a Christian all my life, for most of my life satan blinded me to my idols. My ability to identify them and to overcome them over the last few years has nothing to do with […]
