Did you get dressed this morning?
If you study your Bible, you may be reading the title of this blog post and thinking… yep! I know what this one’s about. Putting on the full armor of God. Wrong! Or maybe how to dress modestly, as a Christian lady. Wrong again! The book of Colossians tells us that there are some things …
