Watching Gary Hamrick on Youtube..

   Gary was preaching and came out with an interesting turn of phrase, when he said that in many of today's churches..there are "many who are part of the crowd, but not part of the faith!"

  He went on to explain that some even think they can look forward to salvation through a loved one, that somehow their salvation will come by way of some strange form of osmosis.  One will gain salvation from a believer wife, or that they were born to believing parents.

  As another good preacher said, "God doesn't have any step children".

  I noticed that Gary Hamrick provides a great service through Youtube.  Some folks go to church for years , are full of questions, but somehow whether by shyness or perhaps their church doesn't teach that thoroughly..they are left with questions.
  Gary goes ahead each year and donates a lengthy video to strictly Q & A...which should be a big help to such folks!  Here's a sample from 2019..
