Saved, Now What?

Contributed by Eduardo Quintana on Mar 22, 2017

At a Guys Night Out hosted by Cornerstone Church in San Antonio TX, we took the time to honor San Antonio's First Responders. 30 men got saved! I am speaking to them as I say; Now that you are saved, There are some things you need to be doing.
