Personal... But Not Private

Contributed by Jerry Flury on May 19, 2013

So often when one seeks to discuss a person’s faith they hear in response “I believe that is a personal matter between me and God.” While it is true that salvation is a personal matter, it is not nor was ever meant to be private.
