     | 3,019 views

    Those who spend their efforts to destroy God’s work are fighting for a lost cause. God will Triumph. A little faith overcame opposition. Through faith the Israelites overcame apathy. There is so much we can do as Christians with the Holy Spirit through faith.

    The noted 18th century French Philosopher Voltaire (1694-1778) was a renowned Atheist.
