    The Christian And Judgment Series

    Contributed by Grant Adams on Dec 2, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,856 views

This does not do away with judgment nor condemn it entirely. It merely says that if we judge honestly and according to God’s word, we are safe, but ...read more

First, gentlemen, please make sure all the windows are sealed tight. We don’t want any sound to seep out to the outside world. And then will you please ...read more

    What are the marks of a true Christian? Perhaps it would be helpful to look at what is not a mark of a Christian first, then what the mark of a Christian is

    This morning I want to talk about marks. Most of us are familiar with marks. When you mark something, you want to identify it.
