Consider Job’s Wife
“There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God and shunned evil. And seven sons and three daughters were born to him.

Mustard Seed Faith 2
In my previous post, I wrote how I don’t believe that Jesus was referring to size in Matthew 17:20 when He spoke to His disciples about mustard seed faith. Let’s look at that verse again: Matthew 17:20-So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faithContinue reading “Mustard Seed Faith 2”
