A Challenge to Women

Thursday, September 14th, 2006

I found a wonderful challenge addressed to Christian women written by John Piper (I copied & pasted the list below). The article is very timely for me, because it reminds yet again to get back to the basics — to not be so distracted by many less important things, but focus on fewer things that truly matter [...]
