Read More...How Righteous Are You?
Romans 12:13 “For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous.” What does this verse mean to you? Does it challenge you at all to change the way you see yourself after hearing God’s word? Hopefully [...]

Yesterday at Friendship we looked at the commands in verses 10 and 12 of Psalm 90.
