Part 1: Preparing For The Fight Series

Contributed by Pastor Randall Timblin on Nov 1, 2019

I was raised NOT to fight. My Father told me since I was knee-high that fighting was wrong and that I would get a “whoopin’” if he ever found out that I had been fighting.

The first fight I ever had was unofficial if you will and it was between a local farm-boy and myself. I was defeated, although it took awhile, and I ended up with two black eyes and some swelling to my jaw. I never asked for the fight but it happened and I was ill-prepared to defend ...read more

The Prophecy In The Upper Room

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 19, 2022

Questions abound as to whether the Lord Jesus was referring to the Rapture in John 14:1-3 and later taught by the apostle Paul in his letters to the churches at Corinth and Thessalonia. It is an issue worth examining.
