“’No!’ Peter insisted. ‘Even if I have to die with You, I will never deny You!’” (Matthew 26:35a NLT) Recently, I read about a man who was hit twice by the same train. “How is that even possible?” was my initial response.

Offense or Defense?
“So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing.” (1 Corinthians 9:26 NLT) My dad boxed in a Y.M.C.A. league when he was in his teens and taught me the fundamentals of boxing when I was a boy.

Do Lost People Care Jesus Died to Rescue Them from Eternal Death? (Part 2)
“Some of you were once like that.” (1 Corinthians 6:11a NLT) The laws of God were very important to Jesus when He walked the pathways of this earth.
