    Elisha In His Early Ministry – Part 1 - The Judgement Is Bad Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 15, 2022
     | 1,469 views

    Men have become followers, not leaders. In too many cases men have abrogated their positions through a bad Christian walk, laziness; a careless, unconcerned walk with the Lord. A failure to be students of scripture with nothing that God can use, leaves a spiritual vacuum for the next generation.
