Get Prepared, and God will use you! If it was illegal to attend church, would you still come? How much do you listen to the preacher? If your Bible was taken away, how would you teach/preach to others? If your Bible was taken away, how would you have devotions? When you are talking to people, you stop giving illustrations and start giving Bible verses, because they are more powerful.2023-01-02T15:12:37-06:00December 22nd, 2022|
