Body of christ Quote by Francis Frangipane
““If we do not move in divine forgiveness, we will walk in much deception. We will presume we have discernment when, in truth, we are seeing through the veil of a "critical spirit."

Indeed, if we do not move in love, we will actually become a menace to the body of Christ.””
