     | 4,907 views

    The grieving of the Lord has its serious consequences. Christians who have a reverent fear of the Lord do not fall under God’s judgement, like the people we read about in the Genesis flood account or like Eli and King Saul did.

Why should I bother getting up on Sunday ...read more
