Y'all,
Please forgive me if I step on anyone toes, I mean this in Christ love. My
two cents on good vs great Outpost is that there is non in God eye. Were great to him
and were all the same. That as long as Jesus is the main function in the Opost that
is the main point. I belive we need to be above average, but I also belive we
shouldn't say. Oh Opost 7th only been up for a yr to where the one in Belleville
church Rangers.
