Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 23, 2022

Have you ever seen a wild sea with wild waves casting up from the sea floor filth and debris and putrid things? That is the next image Jude uses to describe false teachers. That is what their doctrines and behaviour are like. We then look at wild waves in scripture.

Fixing Your Eyes On The Promises Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jul 23, 2021

The Pleasure Of Power Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 5, 2021

Every day of your life you enjoy the pleasure of power. The power to flip switches and give light in the darkness, and heat in the coldness. The power of electricity is the source of abundant pleasure. When we lose that power we are deprived of all our electric devices, and it is a major pain. ...read more
