    Your decisions determine your destiny. When you hear the word, "saved", what does that mean to you? "What must I do to be saved?" The question must be answered because your soul is the most precious thing that you have. It is immortal.

Romans is the longest, the deepest, the most penetrating explanation of what the death and resurrection of Jesus means for God’s people. So, it is fitting that we take a ...read more
