Toward the end of Ecclesiastes, it’s clear that Solomon felt he was getting closer to GAME OVER.

Earlier this week, I explored some of the highlights from the sermon my son Nathan shared this past Sunday! Today, I want to continue looking at ways the enemy traps people and how to avoid these traps! Much of this message focused on anger gone awry! Even though it was mentioned earlier this week that […]
