This Is a Miracle of Grace 2:40

In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. 2 Corinthians 4:4 Every weekend in church, there are people who come to worship.

One sure sign of a church losing its way in worship is that it loses its interest i…
