Kung sinumang nagtataas ng kanyang sarili ay magpapababa, at ang nagpapakumbaba sa kanyang sarili ay itataas. Wala kang magagawa na mabuti maliban kung ang "makapangyarihang kamay ng Diyos" ay sumasa iyo!

Mass Destruction

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Mar 6, 2006

We are going to see seven trumpets blast, seven plagues, and seven bowls poured out - all under this one seal. After this, God’s judgment of the earth and its king will be complete - but there ...read more

When bad things happen - storms, tidal waves, earthquakes, pandemics - people suffer and mourn loss - but often we console ourselves by saying that it is nothing personal - just "an act of God." I would argue about that - the creation fell along with man and so we suffer the curse put on it. But I ...read more
