Do We Want To Be Like Other Nations?

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jan 17, 2017

America may change some aspects of government this election but it will not change the fact that the people remain in rebellion to God. We like so many other countries in the world are living out the cycle of sin as it is clearly displayed.

The Bible points us to a time when Israel wanted to be like other nations. We see in their actions ancient facts ...read more
