Naaman's Miracle
Broadcast Date: November 08, 2026
Question: Why should I read the scriptures if the book is boring? Why should I pray? Nothing ever happens. Why should I go to Church if I don’t get anything out of it? And lastly, why should I serve if no one cares if I do?

Well that night, at 6:56 P.M. from a commanding overlook, I watched that same blazing sun sink below the horizon. It was a strange mix of feelings. As its last rays disappeared, I felt a…
John Jay

And it is for this reason that the framers of the American Constitution divided it, balanced it, and checked it in the different branches of the American government.
