What If

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Jun 16, 2022

Non-denominationalism only divided us more then we ever were before. If satan's kingdom cannot stand if divided against itself how can the House of God stand when we are so divided? We say we are one Body, but we look like a body hit by an explosion.

Mark 3:24  And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.  25  And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.  1 Corinthians 12:12  For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, ...read more

What would you do if you knew the future? If you knew what was going to happen, I would imagine that a trip to Vegas would be in order. At the least you would have a pretty cool party trick.
