  • BE FAITHFUL IN THIS DECLINING, SINFUL WORLD!

    BE FAITHFUL IN THIS DECLINING, SINFUL WORLD! If you do not carefully follow all the words of this law, which are written in this book, and do not revere this glorious and awesome name—the Lord your God— the Lord will send fearful plagues on you and your descendants, harsh and prolonged disasters, and severe and lingering illnesses. He will bring on you all the diseases of Egypt that you dreaded, and they will cling to you. The Lord will also bring on you every kind of sickness and disaster not recorded in this Book of the Law, until you are destroyed. —Deuteronomy 28:58-61             The nation of Israel was warned what would happen if they did not live according…

  • JESUS— MESSIAH AND SON OF THE BLESSED MIGHTY ONE!

    JESUS— MESSIAH AND SON OF THE BLESSED MIGHTY ONE!

What do you think?”   They all condemned him as worthy of death. —Mark 14:61-64             There are those who say that Jesus never claimed to be the Son of God.  Not a son of God, but the Son of God. …

  • THOSE WHO LOVE JESUS WILL FACE OPPOSITION!

    THOSE WHO LOVE JESUS WILL FACE OPPOSITION! And you will be hated by all for my name’s sake.
