1 Peter Chapter 1:18-19 “knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.” A few days ago I was reading this verse and it just struck me “Silver or Gold”[…]
