Tragic neglect
John 16:1-2 “I have said all these things to you to keep you from falling away.They will put you out of the synagogues. Indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God.” There is a reason that Jesus said the things He said. This pertains not just to the…
