For me, there are two primary reasons: When we remember this world is not our home, our lives point to the Truth. Beloved, I urge you as sojourners and exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh, which wage war against your soul. Keep your conduct among the Gentiles honorable, ... [Read More]
