Christianity Quote by Chaim Bentorah

That makes sense; you certainly do not want people with their own ideas as to how the tabernacle should look building it, as it needs to be done according to God’s specifications. As a pastor, I have met certain Christians who exercised such control over the church that I am convinced that when they get to heaven they will probably be telling God how to run things.””
