Walking Talking Bible Project
The Bible has been banned at many times in various parts of the world. Could you see it possibly someday being banned where you live? What does Ezekiel 36:26-28 say about the cause of obedience? What does this imply about our ability to obey God prior to or apart from His intervention? What role does choice play in obedience? These are just some of the questions to consider in this week’s edition of the Walking Talking Bible Project.
