Union and Communion

“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all.”  (2Cor. 13:14) One of the writings that greatly influenced me early in my Christian life was the book by Hudson Taylor, Union and Communion.  It taught me the importance of establishing aContinue reading “Union and Communion”
