by Gary T. Panell Chapter 6 (1) ” We then, as workers together with Him also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain.” When people are saved there should be real evidence of that salvation.”You will know them by their fruits.” (Matthew 7:16a) Jesus said, “A new commandment I give […]

by Gary T. Panell Who was the letter of Second Corinthians written to? The answer to this question is relatively simple, because it is given to us in the very first verse, where its says, “To the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in all Achaia.” Its strategic […]

by Gary T. Panell Chapter 13 Now we come to the chapter that has the answer to all of the Church’s problems! You will remember that in this section of the book from chapters 12-16 we are talking about “The Use of Gifts and Doctrines of the Church verses Their Abuse.” A key chapter in […]

by Gary T.
