    Don't Accept Any Substitutes

    Contributed by Edward Frey on Jun 5, 2002
    based on 34 ratings
     | 7,210 views

    There is no substitute for salvation through faith in Christ. There is no substitute for those who clearly teach such truth!

    We live in a world of substitutes from substitute teachers to sugar substitutes.

Saccharin doesn’t really taste like sugar. ...read more
