It was a prayer meeting night: Wednesday. Only a very few of the large church family were in attendance. The few members were asked to give a special offering. A family had lost their home.

Restoration in the marriage relationship to God will restore the single soul, as well as the couple—male and female—joined in marriage by God. Our restoration by the working power, strength, and indwelling of the Holy Spirit is a true documentary of the soulContinue reading “The change must come: Restored”
