Linda W. from Sturgeon, MO said:
I love that the Lord chooses to be up front and honest about His family. It brings home to me how much He loves all people, and that He has purchased salvation for all sinners willing to place their trust in His finished work on the cross and His miraculous resurrection! It's His goodness that leads us to repentance!
