    What Does It Mean To Have Spiritually Blurred Vision?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 24, 2023
     | 4,611 views

    How Does Personal Spiritual Growth Connect To The Church? Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Sep 30, 2020

It’s not essential to grasp that verse in order to be able to understand the larger point that Paul is making, so we’re just going to lay it aside this evening. There’s not any benefit tonight in spending a ...read more
