The Abiding Life Series

Contributed by Guy Mcgraw on Jun 4, 2012

Would you describe your spiritual life as an abiding life? Is your Christianity something you do at specified moments such as Sunday mornings or is it something you live out each day?

Why is it, then, that a Christian who accepts what God says in the Bible about hell and tries to warn people is ridiculed as an ...read more
