Not you? If you are a born again Christian then, yes you are sent. Read again the Great Commission [Matthew 28]. We have work to do. Equally important is: “ But how will people call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how will they believe in Him of whom they have not […]
Trustable. Are you trustable? It probably would help if I provided my definition for this word so you’d know how I was defining and expressing this word.
