How about you? Have you tried living out your faith in Jesus on your own? Well, the truth is we all have, and today we are in good company as Miguel Nunez continues to say, Peter was the apostle who denied the Lord three times, disowning his best friend.
No one is better equipped to warn others against the danger of stumbling or falling than the one who has been through the experience.
