What groups do you think are least worthy of your time? What about unworthy of love? It’s natural for us to draw the line somewhere, but there’s no stopping the irrational love of Jesus. That’s the heart behind “Irresistible,” a lighter, pop-tinged anthem with a catchy chorus. Use the accompany...

Lazy People Don’t Need Vision to Be Lazy
