Because it matters…
Beautiful feet!
The good news is for everyone“The scripture says…
‘Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved…’” (10:11,13).
How beautiful are the feet!“But how are they to call on one in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in one of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone to proclaim him? And how are they to proclaim him unless they are sent? As it is written, ‘How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!’” (10:14-15).
