Some Things Must Not Be Compromised
Nearly every day in the news we hear of one more way a church or Christian leader has compromised, embracing worldly viewpoints and sin, bowing to those idols. This is nothing new.

These days, it feels like our freedoms are slipping away. Those who speak truth or stand up for certain rights can find themselves persecuted severely, even placed in jail.

Repentance and Humility
