3 John 1:2 “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” For faith to begin, the will of God must be known.

Not long ago I was on an airplane. The Lord spoke to my heart and had me consider how different that airline would be if it had a Faith Filled Christian as the CEO. What kind of movies and in flight programming might they show? What kind of experience might they provide if they directed their employees to love their neighbor as themselves?

“Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.
