IN SEARCH OF THE LORD’S WAY
In all ages God has regarded bearing false witness to be a transgression of His law. Many today see little harm in gossip, false accusations, or slander. We must be careful in the way we speak so we may give grace to those who hear. In light of these needs, Phil Sanders will present the lesson “Speaking Truth” during next Sunday’s broadcast. The program can be seen locally every Sunday on WTRF-TV, Ch. 7, at 7:30 a.m.
