Thoughts on How to Live, Part 3
March 15, 2018
Correction given in love is far better than flattering expressions of adoration. Many people don’t like to go to church because they don’t want to be convicted or convinced of their sin. But like David being corrected by Nathan over his sins, God does so because He seeks our restoration and health. Today on Sound Doctrine Pastor Jeff reminds us that those supposed friends who are quick to show expressions of affection will also be quick to let us fall when a real friendship is needed. It’s our last study titled, “Thoughts on How to Live”, so let’s join Pastor Jeff in Proverbs 27 for today’s installment of Sound Doctrine.
