April 16, 2021

If you were asked to identify yourself in one word, what would it be? Parent? Spouse? American? If you’ve accepted Christ as your Savior, then that one word should be Christian. The late E.V. Hill, then-pastor of Mount Zion Missionary Baptist Church in Los Angeles, preached apowerfulsermon at a 1992 Promise Keepers event in Boulder, Colorado.
