Broadcast Date: May 04, 2025
It was once said by a wise man that more religion is caught than taught. I think I believe that. The Apostle Paul said we should be “… an example of (all) the believers, …” (1 Timothy 4:12) You just never know who’s watching, as this story illustrates:
One morning before kindergarten, six-year-old Jaxson came to his mother and asked if he could do his own hair that…
