Our Counselor, the Holy Spirit
And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever. John 14:16 Jesus promised His disciples that His Father would send the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, to them when He returned to the Father. The Holy Spirit would lead them into truth and teach them all […]
Slaves to Righteousness
You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness. Romans 6:18 In our post-modern world today, truth is not absolute; there is no definitive right or wrong.
