    We are not to be just satisfied with a baby in a manger but to listen, believe, and take action, following the main purpose of why Christ came to earth, which was to seek and save the lost!

The world will accept the fact that there was a special baby born about 2000 years ago which makes us think about peace, joy, and love. But what is the ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,258 views

    Many misinterpret second coming prophecy because they do not know its purpose. It is not to inform us about events. It is not to identify the anti-Christ. It is to inspire us to obedience.

    The Purpose of Second Coming Prophesy 2 Thessalonians 3:4-13 Thomas Fuller was born in Africa about 1710. He was sold as a slave in Virginia in 1724. There is some disagreement about whether someone taught him to count to 100 or if he taught himself. He never had a day of formal education. He ...read more

    Focusing on me will never reveal the truth about the purpose of my life. My Theology Professor at SWBTS told us….you cannot begin with man. You must begin your search for God with God.

    Joke: Two men were seated next to each other as they were flying across the US, along with each of their sons. During the flight, they became acquainted and were discussing their respective occupations (something men tend to talk about).
