Solomon’s Temple- Just Forget About The Price Tag Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Aug 24, 2022

This temple is called the first Temple or sometimes called Solomon’s Temple. This was not officially named Solomon’s Temple. This was not Solomon building a monument to himself. This was the Temple of the Lord. This was a temple inspired by God.

The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for she came from the ends of the ...read more

If The Date Of Salvation Is Already Fixed By God, Then Why Should I Pray Ha

Contributed by Bala Samson on Jul 15, 2018

The idea, ‘God is anyway going to save the person only in His time’, takes the onus away from intense praying, wrestling in prayer for the unsaved person, intense fasting and also thereby takes away the guilt of prayerlessness.

If the date of salvation is already fixed by God, then why should I pray hard? Genesis 18:32 Then he said, "Oh may the Lord not be angry, and I shall speak only this once; suppose ten are found there?" And He said, "I will not destroy it on account of the ten." 19:24 Then the LORD rained on Sodom ...read more
