    Your addiction is a choice. Read from Isaiah and find your deliverance!

    Addictions are obviously the work of the Devil. People wreck their lives, their families and their very souls. How does this happen?

    based on 264 ratings
     | 7,849 views

    When the popular view conflicts with the Bible view, which view should we accept?

    INTRO: Homosexuality is not a new way of living. So why has it come to the forefront of cultural issues in the past generation? Is it true that those who oppose homosexuality are prudes, homophobes, gay-bashers, and self-righteous bigots? I suppose that depends on who you ask. What would you call ...read more

    So, do I have to go to the heart of Africa or some other war ravaged, AIDS ridden, refugee overrun, starving hordes kind of country before I can show mercy? I hope not! Is that unmerciful? What does being merciful really mean?
