So Though There Are Many Things I Would Have Done Differently, I Submit To God's Sovereignty And His Purpose In My Life And I Thank Him That He Brought Me The Way He Brought Me And Gave Me What He Gave Me When He Thought I Could Handle It.

A Church That Focuses On The External Has Lost Its Passion For Souls.
