    How The Church Must Live According To The Gospel Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,738 views

    We’re to please God, not ourselves and we’re to love one another; to seek their welfare above our own. The Christian life is always one of growth, of ongoing training, as we press on towards the goal of eternal life.

One extreme thinks we should forget those old fashioned mores and get with the times: after all, this is a new ...read more
