Rising From The Ashes 1:13:59

1y ago1:13:59

1:13:59

From the time we were children, we were conditioned that our priesthood leaders were there to guide us & had authority over us.

This left us feeling disempower…

Mirriam-Webster's dictionary defines the word Christian as "one who professes belief in the teachings of Jesus Christ."

My grandfather was an architect.

At the end of the book of Zephaniah, the prophet expresses that in the last days, "the king of Israel, even the Lord, is in the midst of thee".

What would you think and feel if He were there? Wo…

Jonah-Micah - Flee 24:00
