The Masqueraders Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on May 4, 2015

The devil and his workers will not appear as satan & deceivers. They will appear to be on your side & on God’s side. But they will take your attention off God, off Jesus Christ, off sharing His Gospel & place attention on man & his frailties.

By What Authority?

Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Aug 21, 2014

Who is Jesus? Was He just a man. Or was He a myth? Or is He the Divine Christ?
