The Black and White on Gray Areas, Part 2a

March 23, 2012
When no one’s looking, it’s tempting to cut corners and bend our convictions. But when our actions are being monitored, and we’re being held accountable for what we do, it makes a difference in how we go about our lives. Today on Focal Point, Mike Fabarez continues a study in Romans 14. As followers of Jesus, it’s important we remember that everything we do on earth makes a difference in eternity!
References: Romans 14:4-12
