September 5 1 Corinthians 6:18 “Flee from sexual immorality.

When you look at synonyms for flee you realize that though they align with running it is a completely different level of running. A more heightened level.

August 31 2 Timothy 1:9 For God saved us and called us to live a holy life. He did this, not because we deserved it, but because that was his plan from before the beginning of time – to show us his grace through Christ Jesus.
