Let my teaching fall on you like rain; let my speech settle like dew. Let my words fall like rain on tender grass, like gentle showers on young plants. (Deuteronomy 32:2 NLT)
Out of the Abundance of the Heart
Building People of Substance for Works of Power Don’t do this alone, Amigos. We had a great men’s gathering this past weekend. During one of the discussions, a man asked the question, “Who is your role model?” We were discussing how we strive to become the men God made us to be.
