    When it comes to sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ, it helps if we understand the approach Paul took. Let’s look at 3 principles that will help us become more frequent sharers.

    Job's self-assured friends were all wrong in their assessment. Job was right. In fact, he was living in the center of God’s will. God says so, and orders Job’s friends to offer a sacrifice to atone for their judgmental attitudes, topping that by tellin
