Latest PostsWhy We Do Some Things
We all have a heritage of some sort. The challenge is, we can be more true to tradition than we can to obedience if we are not careful. For example, I know of young couples that felt like God would have them step out and be a part of a movement of God that was...
Dr. Jerry Falwell
