“But instead we will remain strong and always sincere in our love as we express the truth. As Christians, we are instructed to “speak the truth in love”. Ephesians 4:15 (TPT) In pursuit of order and justice, Christianity places governments not in the place of God but in a place of accountability to God. [1] God never intended people to…
“But instead we will remain strong and always sincere in our love as we express the truth. As Christians, we are instructed to “speak the truth in love”.
