This is not only true of the last one hundred years, with the advent of Pentecostalism and the Charismatic Movement, but even in the 1st Century as is evidenced by the ...read more

He brought them to Mount Sinai, close to the place where God first spoke to Moses in the burning bush. This is the place where God intended to speak ...read more
