Genesis 15:1-6
Genesis 15:1-6 - ''After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.

You talk to them about a life-changing walk with God and they'll tell you about their church membership. But when you talk to them about how much time they spend in prayer, they will say praying isn't their thing. When you talk to them abou ...
