Faith In Action

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Feb 4, 2021

Take the Word of God with you—whether you’re an older man, an older woman, a young woman or a young man, or a child. Let God’s Word fill you and move you. May it be said of us, “Those are people who really know what the Bible teaches. And they also put it into practice.”
