After the Storm
After the Storm
By Ajith Fernando
When cities, or even nations, experience calamity, Christians must look to the Bible for strength and guidance and reach out with the love of Christ to people who are suffering.

COVID-19 and Psalm 91: Ajith Fernando

But we need to remember the big picture. I doubt that…
