    The contest between David and Goliath is a type of the battle between the Believer and Satan. David was prepared to go out on a limb for God. Are we?

    We all know well the story of David and Goliath; it’s one we grew up with from Sunday School. It’s a story which catches a popular vein. It’s the story of the underdog winning, winning against the seeming odds. We probably all have some feeling for the underdog, say in a sporting event, and enjoy ...read more

    This will help you understand the way and how God has prepared for anyone who decides to be saved in order to inherit eternal life.

Yashua is the original name which means, the salvation of God; that is to say the redemption of God. God has ...read more
