‘The Source Of True Innocence.’
1 Corinthians 4:3-4.
a) Do not care too much about being judged by other people. Just do not offend people.
b) Live legally and you have nothing to fear from the court.
c) Do not enter into self judgment. Self examination is sometimes necessary but not self judgment.
d) It is good to have a clear conscience – but that does not make us innocent.
e) The Lord is our Judge.

Chris.
The needs of the Church are always there because Church is a place where people come to Worship and meet together with God. The first source of meeting people’s basic needs is God Himself and one of the ways in which He does this is through the life of the Church and the Teaching of the Church.
