Does a walk matter?

Posted on March 12, 2015 by ColorStorm

The Lord of all the earth and Mary (pt 5)

Posted on March 9, 2014 by ColorStorm

Paul marvelled that people were so quickly removed from the simple gospel. Yes, Christ was not enough! Is it any different today really, that Christ is not enough? Have we advanced spiritually above they of the apostle’s day? Honesty says … Continue reading →
