  • Mission-Minded Families & SUB-Mission

    By Ann Dunagan
    It may sound more important to dream about boarding an internationally-bound 747, or to imagine doing something benevolent or "big" in some prestigious-sounding foreign city; but right now, that might not be the most strategic decision for God's long-term plan for your family. SUB-Mission The only difference between submission and missi...

And as we remember his birth, we need to remember that Jesus surrendered everything, not o...
