     | 13,213 views

    The call of God is what makes all the difference in our lives. We do not have to be on our death bed - or dying on a cross next to the Cross of Jesus - in order to hear His word of mercy.

There was a dearth in the land, but not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the word of God ...read more
