DAVID C. PACK gives us the following thoughts to ponder about Predestination.
1. “Is this true? Is this what the Bible actually teaches when it makes reference to predestination? Did God actually pre-plan every sin, every act of immorality and every crime that has ever been committed? Is God the

PERSISTENT, TENACIOUS PRAYER
Our praying should be like the story of Jacob wrestling the angel in Genesis 32. They wrestled all night and toward morning, Jacob had the angel in a full Nelson grip. The angel said, “Jacob, let me go.” Now, I think it was like WWF, it was a fixed fight. The mighty

The Hinsons sang:
I’m enlisted as a soldier in this mighty army band,
marching out to battle with my weapon in my hand,
heard the captain give the orders and they don’t include retreat,
We’re crossing o’er the border to a land of no defeat.
Now tell me who’s gonna fight and who is gonna win,
