This post is the second in a series on vital subjects that we hope will quicken interest in the Word of God, strengthen faith, and build true Christian character to the end that the Kingdom of God may be enlarged through personal witnessing. Every one of us ought to be able to give the reason for the hope that is in us. We pray the postings over the next few days will be useful in accomplishing this purpose.
