Question: “Does the clay say to the potter, ‘What are you making?'”
Today’s question is from Isaiah 45:9 Would you ever tell God what to do? There are some people in the Bible who tried to do that. God promised a son to Abraham and Sarah. After some time they figured God couldn’t handle it by himself, so they decided to show […]

Caleb: The Man Who Found the Fountain of Youth
