    It’s never easy to WAIT...but why should we have to wait on God and what possible good could come from it?

    Faith is explained in the first part of Hebrews 11 as “Being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for.

Allow yourself to be inconvenienced in order for the gospel to be attractive (ch 2) - Interpersonal Example 3. Seek to cooperate and assist others around you by being a ...read more
