Droughts

Contributed by Delray Lentz on Sep 9, 2024

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Sep 24, 2006

Are we being obedient to Jesus (building our house on the rock) or are we being disobedient (building on sand)? What does obedience mean? This is a challenge to be obedient.

Danger! Keep out. Beware of the dog! Don’t talk to strangers. Follow me. Make sure you’re home by midnight! Failure to comply will have consequences.
