A convicting article

A convicting article for World Communion Sunday: New and Improved Dark Ages « United Methodeviations - http://shar.es/1hPog

"I guess I just can’t understand why anyone would choose to wallow in the acid and poison and bile of judgment over the cleansing, living water of grace that we have received through Jesus Christ."

Amen.
