Latest from Pastor Braden’s devotional, Spiritual Reload:
- Read about some unexpected benefits from a scheduled fast, and how you can prepare for your next special time.
- Urgency and importance mean different things in God's mind. Pastor Summers shows us what Jesus did when He had 'so much to do, and so little time.'
- The world and the Bible go two opposite directions on the idea of spirituality. A believer should avoid the world's definition at any cost.
- Time can be measured, but it is not physical. It has an end and a beginning. But it also has a shelf life.
