What Are You Giving Back?

Genesis 12:2 shares an insight into what God was doing in Abram’s life. He told Abram “I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will your name great, and you will be a blessing.”

That book? The Holy Bible.

There’s so much wisdom contained within the good book. We can read the Bible and learn how to lead others, take care of our families, and treat others.
