Jesus lays out the simplicity of the Gospel in Mark 16:15-20. I’m ready to take these words at face value and see them come forth in power. I’m ready to experience what I believe.

We need a whole lot of mercy to be poured out on this nation and God’s people must lead the way. Repent today. Turn away...
