We all have one other world we live in: our public world. Some people call it our public persona. This is the world where someone who doesn't know you privately, personally, or professionally hears your name and has some opinion… — O. S. Hawkins Copy Share Image
The principal hindrance to the advancement of the kingdom of God is greed. It is the chief obstacle to heaven-sent revival.
