Canons of Dort, Head 5, articles 7,8 | God Preserves

February 26, 2012 – 6:23 pm

Many Churches today emphasize what Christians must do. Christians, to be sure, have responsibilities but they never operate in a vacuum. This is especially true when Christians fall into heinous sins. Christians must repent and turn to God but that happens only when God works repentance in them. Scripture Lesson: Romans 8:26-30 http://media.urclearning.org/audio/tm.godpreserves02-26-12.mp3
