It is clear that God establishes the church and that He has intended that through relationships we are strengthened and built up in His Word. Do people in groups do wrong? Yes. Do churches do wrong? Yes. Should we not be joined to a church? No. Yes, ultimately we stand or fall alone. But that doesn’t mean the support of others is not good or right or needed as we make our way toward the final moment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6693471143220681808.post-47383552388969027332022-09-11T09:22:06.430-04:002022-09-11T09:22:06.430-04:00Thanks -- info is sparse and 1967 is the latest I ...Thanks -- info is sparse and 1967 is the latest I could find.
