Contributed by Phillip Smith on Oct 25, 2024

We are about to embark upon a great privilege given us by God Almighty, an offering of participation in the future of our lives; whether to abide in the guidance of God Almighty or to be left to the abominations of the king–nation’s leader.

Lessons From Jeremiah – Part 10 – Two Treacherous Sisters Polluted The Land Series
