Guarding Against Faith Fakers

Contributed by Bob Joyce on Nov 27, 2010

But according to the book of Jude, not only can we stem the tide, we can take positive action to deal directly with ...read more

Contributed by Peter Loughman on Dec 15, 2009

To truly recognize Jesus we need to: Identify who Jesus is; Acknowledge who Jesus is; Approve of who Jesus is; and Give Tribute to Jesus, for who he is.

He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. The world did not recognize him.
