Contributed on Sep 29, 2022
Do demons exist? And if they do, what do we know about them and how can we deal with them?

Contributed on Oct 7, 2022

5. Scary Scripture
Contributed on Oct 29, 2022
Paul warned Timothy to keep a close watch on his life and on THE TEACHING because "in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you." Why is what we teach so critical to the salvation of ourselves and our listeners?
OPEN: Shortly after I got out of Bible College there was a popular church near Ft. Wayne that attracted thousands of attenders that was called “The Glory Barn” (the building looked like it had been a barn). I went to their worship a couple of times myself just to see what the attraction was, and I ...read more
