The Reward of Christ
Consider the reality of this: The gospel is not something left on the pages or your bible or confined to the preacher’s pulpit.

Try harder and do better, exhaust your efforts on the treadmill of works, if you please, but the gift of grace is just that, a gift so that no one may boast.
Apostolic Ministry
