"The Missing Bride At The Wedding”

Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Nov 8, 2023

Hope In The Midst Of Darkness

Contributed by Brian Williams on Jan 24, 2023

This is the time you need to hear the hope of the gospel, the hope of salvation and deliverance, no matter how discouraged you may be. We can make right choices even in the midst of darkness. To be encouraged and strengthened with words of faith. Your present situation is not the end of the story.

I have heard it said time and time again over the years by Christian and non-Christian alike, that we are living in dark times. When we speak of darkness it could refer to the evils of untold suffering, catastrophes, cruelty, corruption, and malevolence. We have seen evil taking place on a global ...read more
