You were made for this time in history – Dale Partridge
This generation of Christians was made for this time in history. Those strong-willed kids of yours … they were made for the heat that’s coming. That bold husband or that theologian of a wife you have … they were designed for this coming rise in hostility. God made all of us who are alive for this very moment, and He will give each of His children the grace required for what’s ahead.
