Religion That Makes A Difference Series

Contributed by David Owens on Jul 5, 2021

Looking In God's Mirror

Contributed by Bruce Hadley on Jul 27, 2021

James 1:22-24 22 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. 23 Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror 24 and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. ...read more
