The Lord’s Will and You and Me

The Lord’s Will and You and Me

Some people agonize over the Lord’s will for their lives. These are good people, well-meaning, honestly-searching people. There are callings on people’s lives–the call to become a pastor, a missionary, a teacher, a homemaker, a mom or a dad.

What Does My House Say About Me?

What Does My House Say About Me?
