Today’s devotional will examine Romans 7:7-12, focusing on the Misuse of God’s Law. There are many ways one can misuse or abuse God’s … More Friday Feature Quote -“Misuse of God’s Law” – 12/12/2025

Devotion/Study – “Discernment” – 12/08/2025

December 8, 2025

1 John 4 1 John 4:1 COMMENTS and COMMENTARIES I have often written on this doctrine because I am convinced discernment should be a part of every Christians daily life.
