    Those Gentiles!

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Jul 27, 2013
     | 3,867 views

    We Gentiles have been granted repentance by God. This gift is of greater worth than anything this world has to offer. The early church was not excited to open the door of faith to us. What then shall be our response to God's gift of grace?

We look at this today and wonder how they could have missed it. Did not Jesus himself commission them to go into all the ...read more

    Jesus came as a Savior during His first coming. Saving grace has been available since then. Apparently that grace will come to an end when Christ returns and His Judgment will kick in. This is the reason we must get the Word out to all the perishing souls
