Come, Lord Jesus, Come

Advent is one big answer to the question of free will in matters of salvation. God is free. Our will is bound.

1517 grants permission for our free online resources to be printed, photocopied, and otherwise used freely for private and church use. We require that authorship and source (1517.org) are referenced and maintained. These resources may not be sold or included in any publications for sale.
