In Gospel

This post is a repost a blog of a friend of mine. He is also an avid photographer and his blog featured some beautiful pictures. He has kindly allowed me to share his thoughts (and one of his pictures) on the SEND U Training blog.

On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience in the sight of God.
