Contributed by Chris Cuthbertson on Jun 6, 2024

I want to share the questions asked of these preachers and then give you my answers to them. One of the questions he ...read more

Maughmer, Jr. PRAYER: SCRIPTURES: - Judges 17 – 21 Deuteronomy 12:8 says, “You shall not do as we are doing here today, everyone doing what is right in his own eyes”.
