Praise

I will recount the gracious deeds of the Lord, the praiseworthy acts of the Lord, because of all that the Lord has done for us, and the great favor to the house of Israel that he has shown them according to his mercy, according to the abundance of his steadfast love. For he said, ‘Surely they are my people, children who willContinue reading “Praise”

no distinction…

For one believes with the heart and so is justified, and one confesses with the mouth and so is saved.
