Couples Who Pray:
The Most Intimate Act Between a Man and a Woman

Squire Rushnell, Louise DuArt

“You asked for it”, follow-up 4

December 10, 2010 in Other with 0 Comments

In November I taught a three-week series yesterday called “You Asked for It” at Oak Tree Community Church. We asked our congregation to submit questions that they wanted me to answer during the series. Their questions could be about a Bible passage they don’t understand, a Biblical topic they want more information about, or something in the culture they wonder if the Bible addresses.
