The Holiness Of God And You

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Apr 2, 2011

Where Is The God Of Elijah?

Contributed by Stephen Wright on Apr 10, 2011

He had a firsthand view of Elijah’s later miracles and no doubt he heard graphic descriptions of the earlier ones. ...read more

Christmas reveals to us that God knows us and our problem, He loves us because we are precious to Him, and He saves us because heaven is where we ought to belong.
