Time Quote by Anonymous
““sometimes when you think that sin is dead and that it has gone away, those are the most dangerous times of all, because at the times when we think that it is dead, it is very much alive, because as you and I know all too well that it is often still water, rather than running waters, that are in fact deep. ========== Mark 9.43-50 Mortification, Jesus Style First Presbyterian Church, Jackson, Mississippi””
