Quick And Slow

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jan 31, 2012

The Faith Of Abraham And The Power Of God Series

Contributed by Paul Barreca on Feb 5, 2012

1There is an evil that I have seen under the sun, and it lies heavy on mankind: 2a man to whom God gives wealth, possessions, and honor, so that he lacks nothing of all that he desires, yet God does not give him power to enjoy them, but a stranger enjoys them.
