Contributed by Michael Stark on Jul 13, 2024

God is merciful whenever the sinner seeks Him and His mercy. God will show mercy to the nation, the culture, the society that turns from wickedness to seek His grace.

However, I am compelled to give an answer to the One Who ...read more

Preachers In Perdition

Contributed by Michael Stark on Jun 6, 2024
