The Abandoned Church Is A Playground For Demons. Series

Contributed by Shaila Touchton on Apr 5, 2024

When a church is abandoned, it becomes a playground for demons.

The once-hallowed halls, where prayers and praises once echoed, now lie silent and still.

Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jul 14, 2019

When Jesus met Simon, he named him "Peter", or "Rock", even though Peter's character at that time was decidedly un-rocklike. But Jesus saw what he would become, just as he sees as, not only as we are but as what we will become in Him.
