Best-selling author, Daniel Pink, surveyed more than 26,000 people from 130 countries about the biggest regret in their lives. He concluded that most people struggled with four core regrets.

The Promise

Last updated on: December 20, 2024 at 10:48 am By Richard E. Simmons III

The first verses of Paul’s letter to the Romans are rarely, if ever, considered to be part of the Christmas message. But when we look at them, we will quickly and clearly see why they are significant for Christmas. “Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel […] Read more
