Sickness, disease, famine, pestilence, wars, death are all a direct or indirect result of sin!! The only way to bring any kind of healing to the physical, is to ...read more

The King’s New Clothes Series

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 11, 2011

If we clothe ourselves only in the name of Jesus, the world will see right through it - and through us. We have to put on his life, death and resurrection as well.
