True love finds joy in truth and righteousness; it rejoices in what is good and right. As sheepdogs, we understand the meaning of love and intolerance for injustice; we treasure truth and promote virtue. Pray today that we may have a godly heart about sin and...
I've been away from writing daily devotionals here for some time. If you follow me on social media or receive my email letters, you know I have launched a new book this past May (Behind the Badge: 365 Daily Devotions for Law Enforcement) and finished a new book the...
