Galatians 2:4 (ESV) 4 Yet because of false brothers secretly brought in—who slipped in to spy out our freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might bring us into slavery— Who does not want to be free? Freedom is a blessed state of being. Those who have it, cherish it, and those […]
1 Corinthians 1:2 (ESV) 2 To the church of God that is in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints together with all those who in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both their Lord and ours: The word sanctified means “to make holy.” It refers […]

Obeying the gospel of Christ is the smartest, most valuable decision anyone can ever make. Some very important decisions must be made in life, but none of them ranks as high as accepting Jesus as one’s Lord and Savior.
