Quote examples
Ken Ham
Australian Clergyman
Sadly, when pastors choose to neglect controversial issues, they do great damage to the spiritual growth of their congregates. We have generations of young people in our churches who simply believe what the world believes on social and moral issues, and they don't think biblically on these matters.
Quote examples
Savion Glover
American Dancer

Quote examples
Nadine Coyle
Irish Musician

Quote examples
