Can The Church Be An Obstacle To Discipleship For Jesus?

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Jun 1, 2021

Contributed by Joseph Ondu on Apr 5, 2023

But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrine the commandments of men (Matthew 15:8-9). What a serious indictment! In our key verse above, our LORD Jesus Christ was ...read more
