WHY DO WE DO? DO WE TRUST IN IT?
When it comes to our faith, we do many things in the spirit of piety and worship. But why do we do these things? I tend to always be questioning matters of spirituality to understand more deeply. Some may take these questions as a challenge and become defensive. But real…

ARE WE READY?
