No wonder scripture says we need to be like little children to enter the kingdom of God. These little cherubs are living the kingdom right now, still residing in the Gar...

The Book of Proverbs says, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.” “A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, and favor is better than silver...
