    All true believers have a responsibility to contend for the faith.

    The writer of Psalm 11 presents us with a penetrating and probing question: "If the foundations are destroyed what can the righteous do?"

    Some Apostates Contend The Fall Of Man Was Actually A Leap Forward

    The end of the apostate religious system going all the way back to Babel.

    There is a sense in which Karl Marx statement that ’religion is the opium of the masses’ is true, states John MacArthur. People are religious because God created them to be worshippers. If they will not worship the true God, they will worship someone or something else. We look around and we think ...read more
