    Christ Can Give You A New Future.

    There are two paths, one leads to life, and the other to destruction. There are two kingdoms, one of light and the other of darkness. Every human being has a choice to make, it’s either Jesus or Satan.

    Rejecting Jesus is choosing Satan, choosing to follow no one is still choosing Satan, choosing something else outside of Jesus Christ is still choosing Satan. God’s way is one, and that way is Christ Jesus. "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the ...read more

    How much devastation and destruction has been wrought because believer's think nothing of listening passively to slanderous accusations against their spiritual leaders? The Apostle Paul was a victim of this as well.

    Superficial knowledge of the scriptures allows error on a large scale. The words of false teachers are false, but the false becomes true to those who are deceived. Error thrives in untaught conditions just as disease thrives in unsanitary environments. Peter opens up on these savage wolves.

    Because of Sodom and Gomorrah’s’ unrighteousness the Lord didn’t have to share His plan with anyone, but He chooses to allow Abraham His friend to know about His planned destruction for the disobedient!
