He observed said that the church has recently conducted its financial audit and wanted everyone to ponder what the findings would be if God were to conduct a spiritual audit.
Going into the text of the Bible Study, Pastor explained the meaning of christian liberty which is also related to Paul’s answer to eating of food offered to idols. He said that true christian liberty is doing good for others and for the glory of God. In christian ethics, we have to value others above ourselves and whatever we do, eat or drink must all be for the glory of God.
