The Prophet Jeremiah 1 Of 2

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 27, 2022

The prophets are unique, in that God chose to use them differently.

The Prophet Isaiah 1 Of 2

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 27, 2022

We hear a lot of these television preachers give the impression that God comes down at least twice a day and visits and talks to them in an audible voice about the things He wants them to do.

I find it hard to believe what many of these television preachers preach and teach most of the time. Much of it is UNSCRIPTURAL AND RIDICULOUS! They make the Lord’s work look bad! When one comes up with a new idea for making more money, the others seem to follow. I am sure there must be some good ...read more
