Contributed by Wayne Barnes on Nov 27, 2016

Condemnation through traditions of men stifles the true gospel and destroys the Christian Life

If a billionaire was to enter almost any church he would be especially honored, same way a swashbuckling movie star hunk.

Not only is God Abraham’s friend, God is a friend of Sinners. After years of holding on to a promise from God, ...read more
