Perseverance. Much like patience, you can tell it is a virtue rather than a vice because it is so hard to do. The book of Hebrews has a lot of good things for us. We looked at faith last week and this week we are looking at something that comes from faith. One of the things ...

I filled in for the Rev. Norma Holtslander, my stepmom, at First Baptist Place this evening. She has been going through the Lord’s Prayer phrase by phrase and when she was unable to be at the service, I got to do Matthew 6:13 which reads: And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the ...
