Is There Not A Cause?

Contributed by Melvin Newland on May 19, 2015

Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 5, 2026

For forty days, the giant Goliath had stepped forward to issue his challenge, defying the armies of the living God. And for forty days, no one answered him. The silence was not caused ...read more
