Reflection: Que Valdis
Does the idea of speaking to a total stranger about Christ cause you to get very nervous? Accepting the beliefs of 1st century Christians is important.

We must understand that God is always by our sides and he will guide is on the right path to where he wants us to go. Christians of the 1st century also teach us the importance of Christian gatherings. This is depicted
