If I had not actually got into this work and been called of God, I would back out. But I cannot back out: I have no doubt of the truth.
father believe blessing
Our heavenly Father is more liberal in His views, and boundless in His mercies and blessings, than we are ready to believe or receive; and at the same time more terrible to the workers of iniquity, more awful in the executions of His punishments, and more ready to detect in every false way, than we are apt to suppose Him to be...
