restoration from sin
Yesterday was an interesting day. I read the books of Amos and Hosea. netiher one are very long. But the interesting part is how everything fit together like a puzzle. Let me explain through the Scripture and the activities:
Amos 1:3 “The people of Damascus have sinned again and again…
