Choosing the Right Way

God gave us humans the ability to make decisions of all kinds. He even lets us decide whether or not we're going to follow His plan and do things His way. Think about it though. The God who knows literally everything and who certainly knows the best way to do things...

Trials and Testing for a Little While
