Well done is much better than well said. Jesus is the Original...

One of the greatest and most dangerous lies we have ever believed is in the idea of the independent man, the macho guy who doesn’t need anyone. This is the man who beats his chest and says things like: “If it’s to be, it’s up to me” and “I’m going to pull myself up by my bootstraps.” The problem with this thinking is that it denies truth. The data is in, it is clear, it is irrefutable, and it is d...
