He's Not Safe, But He's Good — The Holiness of God with Rev. Dan Borvan

Rev. Chris Gordon and Rev. Dan Borvan explore the holiness of God — why He is not safe but is truly good — and what that means for how we worship. Using key passages from Scripture, they expose how modern culture has domesticated God and why the Regulative Principle of Worship protects both God's people and God's honor. Chapters: 0:00 - C.S.
