An Unfailing Savior
Robert Walker
Hebrews 7:25
One day Pastor Busch had to take a wedding in one of the big empty churches of Germany. The young couple arrived with about ten other people. They were rattling like peas in a pod in that building.

Pastor Busch was given fresh confidence to speak to this man about fully accepting the Lord Jesus Christ. The living God is the Saviour of all who believe, and he is worthy of full a ...
