Believers Quote by Michael C. Kapler
““Education is a fine thing, but don’t let the religious establishment convince you that you’re just the scarecrow from The Wizard of Oz, making you feel as though you have an inferior Bible brain because you are without some sort of certificate issued on a piece of paper. This isn’t what qualified the apostles and believers in the early church, and it isn’t what qualifies people today. The same Holy Spirit that we see move mightily in the lives of those in the pages of Scripture is the same Spirit living in believers today. He has so much to share with us. This””
