They were tempted to give up, to go back to the old ways, and to stop pressing forward in their faith. Perhaps you feel that way today—burdened by the struggles of life, the weight of ...read more

    Who is the man of sin?

    WHO IS THE MAN OF LAWLESSNESS? 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 There is a lot of difficulty in understanding this passage of Scripture. It is one of the most difficult.

    We read in Numbers 23:11, Then Balak said to Balaam, "What have you done to me? I brought you here to curse my enemies, but all you have done is bless them." (GNB) As we continue these studies on the church, we realize that many people have not understood the importance of church, and ...read more
