Believe Me (1 of 4)
Series: What in the World

Hebrews 11:1-6
Introduction
1. Somebody asked me one time, ''What is the difference between ignorance and apathy?'' I told them, ''I don't know and I don't care.'' I recently came across a list of some things that you just don't need to know. For example, you don't need know
