Genesis 3 is one of the most important passages in all of the Bible, because Genesis 3, the fall of man, it lets us know why we’re in the shape we are in today. If you take Genesis 3 out of the Bible, or if you just say,...
We need to be encouraged to pray. The only safe ground in our walk with the Lord is when we’re on praying ground, when we’re on our knees.
