Filthy Rags
I was remembering a church service from several years ago when something happened that proved to me the importance of having the pure word of God. It was near the beginning of worship when a man stood up and read the following verse from his Bible.
This About Says it All!
I am reading Foxe’s Book of Martyrs, Marie Gentert King, Editor. It is an out of print paperback edition. What I have found, with this book, is that it has different accounts than other books that have been published. The quote I make today is from this edition.
