Apples of Gold in Pictures of Silver

Friend or foe? Are you with us—or them? In certain clashes, this can be a gristly question for soldiers to answer.

He wanted to see what we would do individually when a strong spiritual leader is removed. In other words, God wanted to see how well we could follow our true Leader—Jesus Christ!
