posted on August 11, 2021 by The Way
As I walked through the orchard at The Way International Headquarters, I was thinking about the agricultural forecasts I’d heard earlier that season. Every one of the reports had cited the previous winter’s harsh temperatures and above-normal snowfall as being indicators of a mediocre crop for that year.

There is much more to God than what He reveals to us about Himself in His Word.
