Thinking of Others
We live in a time where people are selfish. Like Paul describing the last days to Timothy, his message resonates with us today: 2 Timothy 3:1-5 – This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents,
