Day 267: The Way, the Truth, and the Life

“For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.” Romans 8:18 ESV One of the most intimate scenes in Scripture is the night Jesus was betrayed. All four gospels present this night in their own way, but this night is […]

Day 260: Spiritual Instability
