It’s Already in Your Hand
Lindsay Roberts One day, Richard was running through the house, pulling open drawers and slamming them shut, looking for something. “Lindsay! I’m late, and I can’t find my hairbrush!” he exclaimed. “Where have you looked?” I asked.

Three Reasons I Give

Richard Roberts Disobedience is a terrible thing. King Saul lost his throne because he was disobedient to the Lord. In 1 Samuel 15:2-3 NKJV, King Saul received word from the Lord to utterly destroy the Amalekites and all of their goods. But Saul did not obey. He smote the enemy, but saved the best cattle […]
