All Things…
“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” Romans 8:28 What a statement that is, huh? Do you buy it? Paul is so confident in it that he says “and we know…” No question about it. Totally true. …
Don’t Judge Mucus By Its Color
