Contributed on Jun 2, 2010
Tools of the faith make our journey easier. As we live in the will of God as we think in accordance with his will, we stay in his will.

9. Write Scripture On Your Hearts, Saturate Yourself In It.
Contributed on Jul 15, 2023

We are blessed to live in part of the world where we are able to still share scripture openly. There are countries in where the sharing of God’s word is illegal, where people would love to have access to read the Bible openly but do not. There are other places where the Bible is held in very high ...read more
