|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. Big problems we know we must rely on God.</div>

|
|

|
|

|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. Those who just need to know.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">c. Those who are looking for place to invest.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Some picture God as giving as the first type others as the 2nd.</div>
