I recall my initial reaction! We would be gradually living a minimum of thirty days, or thereabouts, for the remainder of our lives owing someone.

The thought of owing an individual,Continue reading “LIVING ON CREDIT”

DESIGNED INTELLIGENTLY
Having lived in New Jersey for a number of years, it was my privilege to have in the congregation numerous individuals involved in multiplied areas of research. They were brilliant individuals in their fields. They were also solid in their convictions as relating to the Word of God, admirably so!
