The Service Of Christ

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 10, 2013

Cleaning Services

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 18, 2023

We have been forgiven in Christ for the sins that we have committed and confessed. But the underlying condition out of which these sins arise - what’s to be done about that?

“Out, damned spot!” may be one of the most widely recognized lines Shakespeare ever wrote. I wonder why?
