The LORD will make sure that anyone who carelessly uses his name will be punished.” (GW) We have been studying in details as to how the moral laws of God as given in the Old Testament, are still applicable to ...read more

Mind your manners and always write “thank you” notes. 2. Brush your hair. 3. Appearance matters. 4. Never marry a man in order to change ...read more
