All For the Sake of The Gospel

“But immorality or any impurity or greed must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints; and there must be no filthiness and silly talk, or coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. For this you know with certainty, that no immoral or impure person or covetous man, … Continue reading Deceived With Empty Words

What’s to keep us now from stumbling?What within us keeps us humbling?What within us, now revealing,Keeps us honest, not concealing? Jesus only, Lord within us,Cleanse our hearts and from sin frees us.Death to sin, and now obey Him,Keeps us pure. We not betray Him.
