IN SEARCH OF THE LORD’S WAY
Some think we should never speak out against sin or about the false doctrines we hear. Did Jesus ever speak out against the evils of His day and should we speak out. One thing is sure: if we fail to speak out, the devil will surely have his say.
Next week’s lesson by Phil Sanders is, “Speaking Out.”The program can be seen locally every Sunday, 7:30a.m. on WTRF-TV, Ch. 7.
