(1 Corinthians 2:1-5)

Not Being Choked by The Busy Life

Theresa Baldwin

Life is very busy. I can easily feel swayed to and fro, stressed, and like I’m spinning in circles. There are tares and thorns in this world that would love to choke us out and make us unfruitful in God and our hearts troubled by the cares of this world. (Matthew 13) In the story […]
