Trusting Someone Else’s Eyes

God’s Not Interested in Numbers??

I’ve heard some people say, “God’s not interested in numbers.” I hate to be disagreeable, but I must insist that’s not true. Here are 3 numbers that I’m positive God is interested in, because Jesus said it Himself: ONE: “I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in...
