/in /by

As helpful as digital Bibles can be, there are real blessings and benefits to spending time with physical, tangible, good ol’ paper Bibles. Here’s why you should put down the Bible app, close the laptop, and “go analog” more often with your Bible reading and study.

I would respond with another question, and she would go “Hmmmm” for a second, before saying, “I’m not sure, honestly. We might have to ask a minister about that one.”
