     | 5,988 views

    Selfishness colors everything around us until common sense and decency gets lost, having been painted over with these shades of gray. This same selfish spirit was working in the hearts of men in Jesus’ day. And that is what our passage is about today.

Out of love God created mankind, each one of us fearfully and wonderfully made. He made us in His own image with the ...read more

Where the pastor’s name is normally listed, someone had posted this: “Minister: ...read more

    A soul tie is like a linkage in the soul realm between two people. It links their souls together, which can bring fourth both beneficial results and negative results.

    The positive effect of a soul tie: In a godly marriage, God links the two together and the Bible tells us that they become one flesh.
