A Healthy Body

I frequently hear old people complaining about joint pain and organ pain and stiffness and lack of energy and many other physical issues. Their bodies are not serving them well.The Complete Jewish Bible translated something Paul wrote to the believers in Ephesus (5:29-30) as “Why, no one ever hated his own flesh!

Proper Working

Jesus entered His Kingdom as a little child. Then, He grew in grace with men and with God. Then, He did the work in the Kingdom which He was ordained to. Then, He received great reward.

Converted Cyclists
