Daily Fountain 2017 - God's Honour

Tuesday September 19 Bible Reading:     1 Sam. 2: 27 - 36 Topic:                  God's Honour God has many principles that guide His relationship with His children.

Jesus cares for us and wills that we prosper and be in health even as our souls prosper (3 Jn. v. 2) Jer. 29: 1 makes it clear that His plans for us are for good and not for evil yet He d...
