the basic message # E188
In writing the weekly message, I try really hard to convey what I believe God wants said. I recently wrote a message about the significance of 9/11, but some readers couldn’t seem to understand, so I thought I’d try again. In the process, a quiet message from God said, “John, how about letting me do the talking this time.” Yes, LORD.
