When Jesus comes on the Last Day, the world as we know it ends. That probably doesn’t cross ...read more

Contributed by John Dickey on May 16, 2006

That’s where you’ll find your peace – when you know Him and believe Him, when you know that despite desperate or discouraging circumstances, the end of the story is coming and it’s perfect.

But, the true and living God had spoken to him, telling him to ‘forsake ...read more
