The Greatest Worship Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 15, 2021

IN A POLLUTED WORLD LIKE OURS IT IS EXPEDIENT THAT CHRISTIANS SHOULD STAND OUT AND MAKE THE DIFFERENCE. ANYTHING THAT APPEARS LIKE EVIL SHOULD NOT BE CONDONED BY BELIEVERS IN CHRIST. THEY SHOULD DENOUNCE EVIL OUT RIGHTLY AND KEEP AWAY FROM THEM.
