    Trust Not In The Words "the Temple Of The Lord" Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 31, 2019
     | 1,285 views

    In Jeremiah’s words, there is murder, theft, fornication, perjury and the out-and-out worship of money. But we cannot forget the legal murder sanctioned by the Supreme Court.

In other words, we listen as the people of Judah, the Jews, would have heard them in the days of Jeremiah. They were ...read more

    "Perfect" is a single word with a huge load of meaning. Do we have the right idea about the word?

    Perfect or Finished? I have to admit my thoughts and feelings when I first heard the Biblical injunction from Jesus, “Be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” (Mt 5:48) I felt horrible; I thought I was doomed. Hell was to be my ultimate destination. Perfect is a single word with a huge ...read more
