WORDS OF HOPE: Coming up on Groundwork: Gospel Helper or Sell Out? Our behavior is a key part of how we communicate the gospel. But sometimes what we do obscures the gospel message. Is it ever okay to be flexible with our behavior in an effort to remove the stumbling blocks to faith of someone else? Or is that just a sell out? Join the conversation and study what the Bible says about the intersection of justice and righteousness in our daily lives. Tune in on your local radio station or listen online at GroundworkOnline.com. Listen on WJQK 99.3 FM on Sundays at 7:00 AM; and WPNW 1260 AM on Sundays at 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM.
