Luke 13:11 And behold, there was a woman who had had a disabling spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not fully straighten herself. After reading today's text, I wanted to get an idea of what the posture described in scripture looked like "bent over and unable to fully straighten herself". I... Continue Reading →
ARE YOU TUNED IN?
