    Which will you extinguish: Hell's fires or Heaven's fires? Fire is important; but it must be the right kind. At a time when God's people were compromising & backslidden, Samson set an example of a man who fanned the flames of the Spirit and extinguished h

    Peculiar People Day Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 17, 2016
    based on 15 ratings
     | 30,507 views

    The KJV uses the word "peculiar" 7 times - but it didn't mean "odd" or "bizarre" - it meant a treasured "possession". But what does that mean to us and how should that effect our daily lives as Christians?

    (I opened by reading Titus 2:11-14 from the KJV) OPEN: Last Sunday (January 10th) was “Peculiar People Day”. Nobody knows who came up with the idea of making that a special day (somebody thinks it might have been the greeting card companies) but the whole idea of this Peculiar People ...read more
