Do we think like our Savior—Jesus Christ?

Published on May 19, 2010

Can you imagine the headlines around the world if we Christians all lived like Jesus. The Bible is full of examples of Jesus’ thinking.  Here was God in the form of man… his own creation.  So what better example can we have than to think like him as much as possible humanly, to be as […]
