Whose Report Will You Believe

There are so many voices in the world. The Bible says that God created the heavens and the earth, but now there’s the Darwin theory that says different. Report means a detailed account. When you feel overwhelmed, God’s report says. Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you, not as the world gives, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. St. John 14:27.
