It is absolutely essential that a church perceive itself as an institution for the glory of God. But sad to say, many churches (even here in the Philippines) have descended from a church that focuses on glorifying God into a church that focuses on men.

The Debt Dissolving Desire Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 8, 2021

It is something of a paradox to say Jesus paid it all, and yet see here that He demands that we remain conscious of our debt to God, and that we pray continuously for forgiveness.
