The third characteristic of a test-failing tongue is that it is consuming (5b-6) 4. The fourth characteristic of a ...read more

In Noah's day, God destroyed the earth with a flood. In the last day, God will destroy the earth with a fire.

Scripture And Suicide Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 9, 2021

Suicide is almost always folly in our culture, for it is basically just a means of escape. It is usually based on ignorance of the future. People think their present situation is permanent, and they cannot stand to think of living with their present burden for the rest of their lives.
