The Bottom Line Thing

Posted on November 26, 2018 by Pete

Hovering over the latter part of Revelation 7 this morning. What an awesome sight John beholds. A great multitude. Literally beyond numbering. A diverse gathering. From every nation. Representatives from all tribes and peoples and languages. Diverse, yet all wearing … Continue reading →

Crown Casters
