Doing good for others

In Galatians 6:9-10, we are instructed not to grow weary of doing good. That “as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.” We all have talents and abilities.

I remember one time when I was about 11 or so, I watched… Continue reading Fearing the dark
