The Gift of Distribution
I’m Dr. Bob, and for just a Mentoring Minute, I want to speak of a biblical principle that never grows obsolete or loses its power. It’s called the principle of distribution. This principle says the ability to give is given by God, and contains within it the promise to return to the giver so much…
