But how many times do we see 1 John 3:16 broadcast? “This is how we’ve come to understand and experience love: Christ sacrificed his life for us. This is why we ought to live sacrificially for our fellow [...]
CCDA Philly
Monday, October 2nd, 2006So our CCDA Philly blog didn’t go off as planned. The Marriott wanted to charge the conference $7,000 (!!!) to establish a WiFi connection, so internet access was a problem.
