Reasons For Judgment

Contributed by Jerry Smith on Apr 15, 2020

Someone may try to argue that Edom did not do violence against Israel. They were ...read more

Advent: God Will Deal With Evil

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Dec 12, 2009

What is worship? Is it prayer, praise, or preaching? These are elements of worship, but they do not necessarily constitute worship in and of themselves. Worship is an attitude that motivates action, not a mere activity.
