For someone new to the Scriptures, since ‘Christ’ follows ‘Jesus’ so frequently, one might get the idea that ‘Christ‘ is Jesus’ surname or last name. However, there are eighty-six times in ...read more

Dealing With Problems In Life

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 30, 2022

The war in Iraq is a war that will go down in the history books because the Americans defeated a brutal dictator and his regime, and helped this Islamic nation gain their freedom to form a democracy.
