The Two Pillars Of Godly Support: Belief And Love - 1john 3:23 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 5, 2022

Some Christians, when they are more established, very imperceptibly, lessen the trust in the Lord, and place it more in their own ability and decision-making. Not consciously, but bit by bit, they take back control of their own lives, and wonder why God seems absent. We look at belief and love.
