Romans 14:1-6 - Corps - April 16,1980
ROMANS 14:1-6 April 16, 1980 We’re in Romans 14 tonight. It is remarkable how simple this Word of God really becomes, and yet, how tremendously accurate and how detailed the Word of God is. And especially since you know we are still considering the Word in the light of the love of God in the renewed mind in manifestation without hypocrisy.

Tweet Topic: Rom 14:1-6,logospedia,lp Format: mp3 Publication Date: April 16, 1980 On Ephesians 4:25 where I want to begin tonight, or where we will begin tonight , the first part of what the Research Team gave me is the work that Walter Cummins published in our wonderful Way Magazine on "The Spoken Word." Also, as we cover Ephesians 4:28 tonight, I had all the information in front of me from another article that Walter Cummins has in the... has had in the Magazine. The first article on Ephesians 4:25 is entitled "The Spoken Word." The one on Ephesians 4:28 is "Workers for God." Both of these pieces of work by Walter are absolutely superb. And I believe that they should appear and will appear in our research journal GMIR whenever we begin publishing that. {GMIR Aramaic word meaning ' to perfect, accomplish , mature, complete, arithmetically to be divisible without any remainder.} And I n
