In Mark 9:23, Jesus says “All things are possible to him who believes.” In this video, I talk about what that really means for Christians and how important it is for us to base our beliefs in God’s Word. I also discuss how incorrect beliefs can create unbelief and how we can fight that unbelief…
There have been many times when I have had to say I’m sorry to my wife, Leslie. Saying I’m sorry is not always an easy thing, but it’s something that needs to happen when an offense has been committed.
