Contributed by Wilson Oshorakpor on Feb 7, 2022

God's grace is available to all, but many receive this grace and pervert it. They turn the grace of God to a licence to commit immorality and do wickedness in our society. The consequences for those who despise, frustrate and pervert God's grave are severe.

Attaining True Human Dignity Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 18, 2021
