    They Refuse to Return

    Jeremiah 8:4-7 ESV “You shall say to them, Thus says the Lord: When men fall, do they not rise again? If one turns away, does he not return? Why then has this people turned away in perpetual backsliding? They hold fast to deceit; they refuse to return. I have paid attention and...

    Judged by What we Do

    “What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it?
