Insight for Today
Written by Chuck Swindoll, these encouraging devotional thoughts are published seven days per week.
A Touch of Class, Part One
I’m honest; I’ve searched the Scriptures to find statements that support such an extreme emphasis on cutting every economic corner. The only place I find support for that (you’re not going to like this) is in the personal realm, not in the realm of God’s work.
