The Faithful Conference always brings great knowledge, both of preaching and communion with our brothers and sisters; However, as Washer reminds us, we know a lot more than we will put into practice throughout our Christian life, so let’s grow in both learning and practice. In practice, Washer reminds us of some of the basic disciplines of Paul Washer’s Message to the Brazilian Christians we record.

Is there a direct relationship between action and awareness of God’s grace and mercy with our productivity in our Christian life?In every way, not just in evangelization.
Speaking now of preaching, I know it’s hard to say which one was the best, but I, Vinecius, vote for perseverance until the end of Joel Beeke. Is God so wonderful (and sovereign) that this preaching was one?Bonus?took place due to cancellation of Paul Washer’s flight.
