Lent Day 31: Searching for Hidden Treasure
If I have any regret about my faith walk, it is the fact that I did not discover the hidden treasures in God’s word when I was much younger. What a treasure-trove of hidden knowledge, wisdom, power and influence is available to he who searches and studies God’s word diligently. To search scripture goes beyondContinueContinue reading “Lent Day 31: Searching for Hidden Treasure”
