Proclaim And Teach The Full Counsel Of God
All Scripture comes from God and is useful for teaching, correction and training (2 Timothy 3:16). By it we are nourished (1 Peter 2:2), sanctified (John 17:17) and guided (Psalm 119:105).

And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.”
