Come Out From Among Them And Be Separate Series

Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Mar 14, 2016

The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ has been bought with a price. We therefore need to be separate in our actions and speech. We must not let the world spot us. God has called us to a life of example. Like the Hebrew Boys, we must represent God always.
