    The secret of reaching men is to know the secret of reaching God. The most powerful ongoing Christian witness has always been the speaking of God’s Word by one who is living in God’s Word.

    Who does God use? Whom does God use? Those who are willing to be used by Him. All believers are candidates for Kingdom service. Your ability is not the issue, but your availability.

One of the pots had a crack down its side to a point about half way. The other pot, perfect! Each had been ...read more
