God is faithful won’t you agree?
Thank you po, I didn’t know that my views are not biblical, ang dami ko pong natutunan. Those are priceless words. No matter how tired a teacher of the Word may be, at the end of the day, these words will surely remind him to keep going. We need to remember that people don’t naturally desire to grow in the knowledge of God, even more so to spend time diligently studying the Bible.

If you say you are a follower of Christ and have…
