2 Corinthians 13:11

Let this be a focus in your time of meditation throughout the day. Until next time, shalom!

It seems everyone is admitting how the world is changing rapidly, and not necessarily in a good way. In fact, while the world is promising a bright future, many acknowledge how so much is pointing to quite the opposite. That being the case, what should we be doing?...
