Time is a donation of God; you cannot buy it, you cannot merit it, you cannot purchase it, you cannot trade for it. And life is a sphere of Work! You see we are not sent into this world as a butterfly.

The Fall Of Man

It refutes atheism, because the universe was created by God. It refutes pantheism. It refutes polytheism, for one God created all things not many gods. It refutes humanism, because God, not man, is the ultimate reality. It refutes evolutionism, because God created all things.

A Man Born Blind Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Jan 23, 2017

Is seeing believing? Are you looking to see God at work in the world? Are you pointing out those works of God to others so they too can see? Jesus said : “We must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming when no one can work.”
