So I set the keypad lock up, got the old handle out of the door, got the batteries in, set the code, all ...read more

Can such faith save him? 15 Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. 16 If one of you says to him, “Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about his physical ...read more
