Dr. R. G. Lee told of a preacher who use to open his Bible and put his finger down, and whatever it pointed to would be his text for the message. He told this brother that he needed more preparation for his sermons. The proof was the message that he preached on Naaman the leper. He put his finger ...read more

Salvation - In Three Tenses

Contributed by Pastor Renji George on Jun 16, 2024
