    Work Of Thy Hands

    Contributed by Paul Richard on Jun 30, 2020

When something is created, done or made, work is said to have taken place (Genesis 1:11, Genesis 1:21, Genesis 1:25-27). Work is done to achieve a particular outcome or result which oftentimes is either positive or ...read more
