    The following is a list of twenty five things that often crowd out our love for the Father. Since Jesus told us to watch and pray that we enter not in to temptation. It is a good idea to know what competes for our greatest passion.

Perhaps it could be summarized in the word preoccupation. Illustration: CHARLOTTE, N.C. - An 86-year-old ...read more
