Paul's Prayer Requests

She asked him to go into the pantry and get her a can of tomato soup, but he didn’t want to go in alone. “It’s dark in there and I’m scared.” She asked again, and he persisted. Finally, she said, “It’s OK, go; Jesus will be in there ...read more

The Dawn Of Conscience Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 24, 2021
