CONTRIBUTIONS TO FAITH DRIVEN ENTREPRENEUR
Just a couple days ago I emailed our senior leadership team a passage from 2 Peter 1:3-8 that just really stood out to me as being so essential for what we do. But in that passage, the apostle Peter says God’s divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him, who called us by his own glory and goodness.
