Dedication Of God

Contributed by Sam Dilbeck on Nov 13, 2006

A loving Creator dedicated to our salvation is sometimes left with no choice but punishment.

Have you ever wondered what God "has done for you lately?" Many have. In fact a lot of people struggle to see the hand of God in their lives.

Are There A Few That Be Saved?
