    Contributed by David Henderson on Dec 29, 2014

     | 4,761 views

    When we look back at the life of Mary I see 2 extreme points of view that have surfaced. 1. Many believers have chosen to worship Mary. 2. Others have chosen to completely ignore Mary. The scripture does not support either approach.

    The gospel of grace! Because of Jesus, the Father promises US, ’Never will I leave or forsake YOU.’
