    Stewardship, Generosity, And Giving Are Not The Same Series

    Contributed by Doug Fannon on Sep 19, 2018
     | 8,712 views

To help you understand the biblical position I will be taking on this matter of stewardship, let me ask you a simple question: If you made $1,000 last week, ...read more
