The Vagrant Faith: Having Everything, Owning Nothing

Using Your Gifts as Your Mission Field
As many of you know, I’ve been racing motocross for quite some time. While there certainly isn’t any financial gain to the sport, rather extreme risk, I am certain that God has blessed me with this opportunity for His good as well as mine. Just like David says in Psalm 138, I know the Lord has a...
