IS THE CHURCH OF YOUR CHOICE THE LORD’S CHOICE? We often use the phrase “A day at a time”. Obviously we all know what it means and even understand it more in our later adult years. A hymn that many are familiar with speaks of “ a great day coming and of a sad day coming”. It refers to those who are obedient to God’s word and to those who have no interest in it on the day of judgment. It’s a day we will all experience. It’s our individual choices to what kind of day it will be. Choose wisely Questions? Visit a Church of Christ near you. Thanks again for reading. (Paid Advertisement)
