But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for ...read more

    What role does conscience play in Christian citizenship? That is the study presented in this message.

    “One must be in subjection, not only to avoid God’s wrath but also for the sake of conscience.” How many sermons have you ever heard concerning the conscience?

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Oct 4, 2014
