Turn to God, Let Grace Continue It’s Work
Stumbling along a post from Feb. 2009, while I am not convinced Paul’s referrals to flesh and spirit always point to the battle in attempts to be our own personal savior, the flesh, against falling upon Grace and God’s goodwill to lead us in this life, the spirit, I am [...]
