Following Paul

Raymond Golsworthy“Brethren, be followers together of me.” Phil. 3:17 The title of this study will probably raise some questions. Should we, or should we not, be followers of God’s servants? Did not Christ say, “Follow Me” (Matt. 9:9)? Is not that sufficient? And do we not read that God’s overcomers are they that, “F... Read More
