Didn’t Part Every Sea!
No, He did not move every mountain Nor part every sea! He moved and parted what ever He wanted, According to His own plan and purpose. He healed some and visited some; He didn’t go to China or Australia or Europe; Didn’t even come on over here to America! The purposes of the Triune God […]
