Down To Racing Weight

But it's true. Inside this fleshy disgrace to the human race there lies buried somewhere the soul of ...read more

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 9, 2021

There are rainbows everywhere, but the most amazing rainbow on record is the one the Apostle John saw in heaven. Here is the only permanent rainbow that exists. They fade so fast on earth, but this one is part of the furniture of heaven. It is part of the presence of God.

I never realized how many rainbows there are in the world, until our trip to the West Coast. We would get up early to travel before the Sun came up. When it did come up it was at out back, and it was at just the right angle when we went past the irrigation systems. The light of the Sun hit that ...read more

Transformation

A Full Examination Of Gog And Magog From Ezekiel 38 & 39 – Part 2 Of 2 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 3, 2022

At all risks and consequences, you must fight for God and the salvation of souls.” ...read more
