Not Law But Grace Defines Our Future

Randolph Jason

Not Law But Grace Defines Our Future It seemed the only way God could get my attention was to place a dream upon my heart and in my mind.

Arrogance and ego are right there to drive the bus and do the bidding. How can anyone see anything when these two knuckleheads are at the…

Randolph Jason

To Reach Unsaved Christians, First Help Them Get Lost by DEAN INSERRA for Christianity Today People who claim Christianity but lack gospel awareness present a unique evangelistic challenge. If there is such a thing as missional insecurity, I have felt it. It’s that feeling you had in college when your friends spent spring break serving in a Haitian orphanage while you drove to the beach.
