When done properly, this type of study clearly lays out the justification and sanctification. <BR/><BR/>Please ask your friend on the last time he studied Paul's letter. The lack of in depth bible knowledge through study is one the great failures of the Church today.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15967712.post-16826575266423492842009-01-31T03:50:00.000+11:002009-01-31T03:50:00.000+11:00Good thoughts, LPC.You are right to wonder about J...Good thoughts, LPC.<BR/><BR/>You are right to wonder about Joe or Mary sitting in the pew next to you.<BR/><BR/>We ought not presume that they do know and take every opportunity to speak about our faith to them.<BR/><BR/>The first step in evangelism ought be those sitting right next to us.<BR/><BR/>At least they will be hearing a similar message from the pulpit (hopefully) and it may go along way towards their 'getting it'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
