God’s List Of Do’s And Don’ts (1-3)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 15, 2022

Often, when God’s man has the courage to stand before the people of God, and declare the whole counsel of God’s Word, it does not earn him any favorable treatment.

Why? Because he tells them things they do not want to hear. For example, how many would turn to the astrology section of the newspaper, if it told them something like this, “You are a very dumb person, and because of that, some very bad things are going to happen to you today!” They turn to the ...read more
