General
The Bible is an ancient book with different sections. One of those sections is called the “General Epistles” (or sometimes just “General Letters”).

Why cannot I follow thee now?
“Peter said unto Him, Lord, why cannot I follow Thee now?” John 13:37 There are times when you cannot understand why you cannot do what you want to do. When God brings the blank space, see that you do not fill it in, but wait. The blank space may come in order to teach you […]
