But if God is a God who does not change, then we have every reassurance that we can run to Him when the whole earth has given way under our feet. • Sundays in July
Logan Carr • Selected Scriptures • * In Isaiah 6, Isaiah discovered that all the intellectual prowess in the world could not reach God—rather, God reveals Himself through your worship of Him.
