Job 42:3 – Too Wonderful For Me

The ignorance – or rejection – of God and who He is coming from so many in the world today continues to stun me despite my understanding of Biblical history and Scripture’s foretelling of what is to come.  Paul spared no sympathies for those who live their lives in such a fashion.  In Romans 1:18-23…
