Where Is God?

Contributed by Clark Tanner on Apr 5, 2001

To the unbeliever, He is nowhere. To the believer, He is now/here.

Soothsayer Or Prophet

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Sep 17, 2020

Sometimes it may look like a duck, walk like a duck and quack like a duck, but it is not a duck. Therefore we need to duck false prophets and their message.
