I Cor. 11:1-16 "Church Order" He came shuffling in… the service had already begun… almost no one noticed him yet everyone noticed him. He smelled of B.O., ...read more

He feels out of place in a room full of saints, but where else will he go? He has violated every belief he every had, he has hurt ...read more
