2024

If a believer stops Christian fellowship and ministry, stops studying the Bible and prayer, in no time you will trace to him some of the most heinous crimes known to man. The secret of good work is continuous consecration to God.

Walking with God comes with an assurance – all things will ultimately work together for good.
