Re: Morals & ethics behind supporting certain mission efforts?

We have a variety of folks here that like to think through things and I hope this subject can be discussed in a mature manner and not get political more than it has to be.

Re: History of the Garden City Confession of Faith

I recently listened to this sermon on the Pilgrim Ministry site about the Garden City Confession. The sermon was given at a Pilgrim church in 2019. https://www.pilgrimministry.org/sermons/history-of-the-garden-city-confession-of-faith It was interesting to hear their perspective on it. I have seen ...
