    Contributed by David Baeder on Nov 3, 2007
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,742 views

(ESV) Introduction: Our hymns include many songs, in which we rejoice in our redemption: “Redeemed how I love to proclaim it, ...read more

    Are we taking what we prefer, or what we see as a good thing and entering into the Kingdom of God and claiming it as God’s will, when it is nothing but our own doing?
