His Name Is...mighty God

Contributed by Brian Harrell on Dec 19, 2005

Jesus would be known as the Mighty God! Let’s not let the world assasinate Jesus and replace Him with some weak substitute who can barely save us. He is the Mighty God! Limitless, not subject to our rules, a defeater of Satan and the overcomer of death! D
