HOW TO KEEP YOURSELF FROM FALLING

I did about eight months in a State University and I knew that every seed that my parents planted in me as regards the fear of the Lord was under intense attack. I was surrounded by various vices that could derail a teenager leaving home for the first time. In those eight months, I had the opportunity to drink alcohol, […]
