LET YOUR DEED MATCH YOUR CREED

I mentioned the church I visited last Sunday with all of the young adults……I sat there pondering what is drawing young adults to this place.  The pastor, preaching on lessons of the day, talked about one’s calling and how important it is to have your “deed match your creed.”  Seems another way of saying we [...]
