God speaks today Sunday | April 7, 2024

I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it. (Psalm 81:10)
If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. (John 14:14)
Charles Spurgeon

This comes from The Bank of Faith Checkbook by Charles Spurgeon. Read more...
