Your Purpose Will Be Distinctive
Richard Roberts – Fourth of five parts I don’t see God as doing things in exactly the same way twice. All of creation bears that out. No two snowflakes are identical. No two sets of fingerprints are the same. When God reveals to you His purpose for your life, it won’t be like that of […]
