WISDOM'S ARENA

                     “ all men should be saved and come to know the truth” 1 st Timothy 2: 4 Thank you for joining on this journey called “DOES GOD REALLY NEED A NATIONAL CATHEDRAL?. Today we want to continue from where we left off last week, and todays questions is: 1.        DOES GOD NEED A BUILDING? Does God actually need brick and mortar?
