David’s 911 Call For Help! (2 Of 2)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 4, 2022

Look at Matthew 5:44, “But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.” I do not know anything in a ...read more
