But, you see, the problem is there isn’t any room up here on the altar. We have a dirty altar today. It’s ...read more

Everything that the Lord said would happen, will happen, but not in the sequence He gives them. Notice, as the disciples were walking with Jesus past the Temple, they commented on the ...read more

The Biblical basis for the belief that all infants who die are saved is the atonement of Christ which releases all from the penalty of original sin so that none parish for Adam's sin, but only for their own personal transgressions.
While visiting in the hospital I met a woman who was anxious to talk about the salvation of infants who die without baptism. She had good reason to be searching for information to give her hope. 18 years ago she lost a baby girl who had not been baptized. Her pastor came to call on her, and she ...read more
