Can’t...or Won’t? Part One

Insight for Today
Written by Chuck Swindoll, these encouraging devotional thoughts are published seven days per week.
Fighting the Fast Fade
The seed is carefully sown. Yet shortly after God’s Word is heard, the enemy of our souls, Satan himself, comes and snatches away the biblical insights that have been deposited in our hearts.

Maybe the reason we’ve stopped answering questions is because we’ve stopped asking them.
