    The Apostle foretells a day when Christians will deliberately turn their backs on sound doctrine, embracing error because it makes them comfortable and because the error is convenient.

    Today as we mark the celebration of the milestone of 50 years let’s answer the question that Joshua predicted his people would ask when they saw that pile of stones next to the Jordan River.

    Although we no longer use literal stones to mark the miles along our roads and highways, we all understand the reference to “milestones.” Tracing their history back to the Roman Empire when they were called “miliarium” they were used to mark distances along their vast network of roads. Yes, they ...read more

     | 2,292 views

    The departure of the glory of God from the Temple was a milestone event. Was God forsaking His promises to Israel?
