    There has been a lot of talk about the end of the world lately.

    Being a Finisher Text: Hebrews 10: 32-39 But recall the former days in which, after you were illuminated, you endured a great struggle with sufferings: 33 partly while you were made a spectacle both by reproaches and tribulations, and partly while you became companions of those who were so ...read more

He had lived with exemplary good moral integrity all his life and left words that encouraged Israel. He said in 1 Samuel 12:14-15 "If you fear the Lord ...read more
