Shoes of peace: Ready for every opportunity

Ephesians 5:16 | Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days.



2nd Timothy 4:1-2 | I solemnly urge you in the presence of God and Christ Jesus, who will someday judge the living and the dead when he comes to set up his Kingdom: Preach the word of God. Be prepared, whether the time is favorable or not. Patiently correct, rebuke, and encourage your people with good teaching.
