By Randy Harmon Pastor, Rock Springs Baptist Church, Greenbrier Focal Passage: Joshua 6:1-5, 12-16, 20 Proverbs 14:12 says, “There is a way which seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.” It is a reminder that our own wisdom is limited and flawed. God, when He works, tends to do […]

By Brent Moore Pastor to Adults, First Baptist Church, Clarksville Focal Passage: Malachi 3:1-7, 16-18; 4:1-2 God always has a plan.
