TOPIC: FLAMES OF FIRE MEMORISE: And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. Hebrews 1:7 READ: Luke 6:43 -45 43 For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 44 For every tree is known by his own fruit.
