    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Apr 5, 2021
     | 1,768 views

    One may browse through a hundred news articles a day or reflect on the situations facing humanity with great trembling. And one may reflect back upon history to consider how history repeats itself.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,647 views

    Early believers were able to face opposition and tribulation because they focused upon their identity, following Jesus. What is our identity?
