IN SEARCH OF THE LORD’S WAY
Recently a celebrity said he did not want to be known as a Christian, because there is too much baggage with calling yourself a Christian. Christians must rejoice in Christ and live in a way that glorifies His name. “Not Ashamed” is the scheduled topic of Phil Sanders’ presentation in next week’s broadcast. The program can be seen every Sunday at 7:30 a.m. on WTRF-TV, Ch. 7.
