     | 4,502 views

    Sometime change in our, and our churches, Christian perspective is so slow that we fail to recognize what is happening. It is like the drip-by-drip change, which Nazi ideology brought to Germany.

    Countering Drip-by-Drip Change...

[The Scriptures have powerfully argued that eternal salvation is by faith in Christ and not by good works, heritage, or law keeping.] ...read more
