Christians Who Don't Go To Church

Christians Who Don't Go To Church

Martin Luther, in his little work A Simple Way to Pray, advocated this phrase, "convert and restrain." Convert those who will believe (the elect) and restrain those who wish to harm the church.

“Recently, a Roman Catholic laywoman and a male companion (who stood behind her with his rosary, saying prayers) came to my door on behalf of St. Mary Catholic Church in Escondido.
