  • The Fruit of Repentance

    The Fruit of Repentance

    If a voice cries in the wilderness, does it make a sound? If there is a lone “crazy” person crying out and nobody is listening to him or heeding his call, does his message even matter? With the way the world is going, sometimes we as Christians can feel that way. Does it make a…
