Nurturing the Next Generation of Leaders
I realize I just preached a sermon on the danger of pride! And yet, I’ve been reflecting upon those things God has done in and through us these last 37 years that make me most proud. I’m in a quandary! But at the risk of falling prey to the very offense I described last Sunday […]
