How To Be A Do-Gooder

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 8, 2022

He was a clean-cut serial killer that confessed to 28 killings, but other estimates indicate that he brutally killed as many as 33 to 100 female victims during the 1970's.

The Birthright (2008)

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Oct 24, 2022

When we make problems for ourselves where God had intended for us to make progress, we cannot usually reset our course. The Old Testament story about the Esau’s birthright that he surrendered to his brother Jacob is perhaps one of the best examples of this.

THE BIRTHRIGHT Text: Hebrews 12:16 President John Fitzgerald Kennedy once said, “Our problems are man made; therefore they may be solved by men. And man can be as big as he wants. No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings.” There is a lot ...read more
