Ever tried to cut something from your life cold-turkey? You know, just one day you decide I am no longer eating meat? Or I will never drink coffee again? Passage to put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through...
How did the review go? I hope well. Today I have one more tool to help summarize and give you a visual for next week’s posts. This is also a sneak peek into my studying process. I used many tools to study scripture. I:
