     | 27,030 views

    The gospel of grace! Because of Jesus, the Father promises US, ’Never will I leave or forsake YOU.’

    “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Those words were so raw with emotion that we still have them in Aramaic, Jesus’ mother tongue: Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? Jesus is hanging there on the cross. We can safely assume his face is twisted with the agony of crucifixion. He can barely ...read more

    We shouldn't be surprised by the increase of evil in the world today; it was predicted by the Apostle Paul in 2 Thess. 2:1-12. Its growth indicates how close the Rapture of the Church is.

I'm sure you have some, too. Kristi and I marvel at how God has provided for us in various ways through the years; an ...read more
