It can linger and pop out at times.<BR/><BR/>The quote of this post, though, is fantastic and true. If you think you are just a little sinner, you will only think you need a little Savior, in fact, maybe you'll just need a nudge in the right direction.Rev.

I don't think of him as of the stature of Chemnitz or such, but he's a man of prayer and he teaches me much about humble submission to the Lord's Word.William Weedonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01383850332591975790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291232.post-91356677170378638662008-12-18T21:11:00.000-06:002008-12-18T21:11:00.000-06:00I am never a CF Walther fan.
