    Do you know where you will spend eternity? Are you so completely morally pure that you do not fear judgement? How can anyone know that they can be saved? Only by trusting in Christ and His merits.

    Jude verses 20-25 Snatched from the fire One day a young boy sat in a pew at church, listening attentively to the sermon on the consequences of the fall into sin. His eyes grew wide as the pastor’s voice rose while he quoted from Genesis 3:19; “You are dust and to dust you ...read more

    If there had only been an Ezra, only part of the job would have gotten done. If there had only been a Nehemiah, only part of the job would have gotten done. God needed both men to accomplish the goal.
