How To Hear God’s Voice Over The Noise Of The World
Remember the game ‘Chinese Whispers’ you likely played at a birthday party when you were a kid? If you’re scanning your memory trying to think back to a few decades ago (like I did), here’s a little reminder of the game: A word or phrase is whispered from one person to another till the final ...
