Acting With Compassion

Learning to know the great value of God’s Law is a must for right Christian living. Without a correct knowledge of God’s Law, there is a good chance that one might misunderstand a primary purpose of Grace. Listen in as Pastor Teacher Landis Fisher teaches on this vital topic from the book of Leviticus in a though provoking lesson he has titled: “Acting With Compassion”
