    We are all builders in Christ, but there is only one foundation. Watch how you build upon it and be rewarded for what remains on the day we face God.

    "Peter, Feed My Sheep” (12 Of 21)

     | 1,709 views

    We often hear Christians say that they believe the Lord Jesus is coming soon to gather His church.

    We have been given the means by which we can have peace within the body of Christ. All Bible references are from the NASB.

    Peace. How much we long for it. We look around the our world, and we find no peace. We look around our nation, which is more divided than I have ever seen it, there is no peace to be found. We look around our town, our community and even here, peace is often elusive. In many of our homes, I ...read more
