Growth as a Disciple, Part II
Attached is the new blog on discipleship. I am pressed to do this because we use this word so casually and loosely and incorrectly, I felt a need to make a comment. Here are some comments that our Savior Jesus made on the subject. Luke 14:26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, […]
Growth as a Disciple
The bible is clear, we are to take our life after salvation and invest in the things of God in preparation for Heaven. Salvation is not a renewal to return to the world feeling better about ourselves. As we walk with God it is very important that we use the Words of God correctly, Mat […]
