y know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate??? (Titus 1:16).???He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him??? (1 John 2:4).I read about a pastor who reported 4,000 professions in five years of ministry, but the church only grew from 98 to 100.
