    INTRO.- When you hear those words, "the new you," what do they mean to you? You may think, "it sounds good but I don’t believe it." Of course, we think in physical terms.

    How can we Christians become innocent of the blood of all men? 1- By proclaiming the will of God 2- By warning people night and day

    based on 25 ratings
     | 9,511 views

    INTRO. - ILL.- Today 100 years have elapsed since the first father’s Day was celebrated. Fathers of 1900 didn’t have it nearly as good as fathers of today; but they did have a few advantages: In 1900, fathers prayed their children would learn English. Today, fathers pray their children will ...read more
