“Bitter Roots Bear Poison Fruits”
Steven A. Bush
Where do bitter roots come from? A person gets hurt or offended or slighted. It may’ve been deliberate or unintentional. It may’ve been an offense that was perceived but not actual.
“The Victory of All Victories”

“Return to God!”

“For you know that God paid a ransom to save you from the empty life you inherited from your ancestors. And it was not paid with mere gold or silver, which lose their value. It was the precious blood of Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God.”
“The Cross: A Place of Execution; A Place of Substitution”
Steven A. Bush
