There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in … Continue reading Walking Past
Jesus, My Savior
"So do not be ashamed to testify about our Lord, or ashamed of me his prisoner.

Jesus, Lead Me

Here we see Christ Jesus as the … Continue reading In That Day
