    He proclaimed a holy war against Christians everywhere. He uttered murderous threats toward anyone who claimed to be a follower of Christ. He captured and persecuted Christians, opposing all who followed Jesus. He even approved of and participated in mobs of people killing anyone who claimed to ...read more

    Each of us is called to present the love of GOD to a world that is suffering with a void in their lives. Each of us is called to carry forth the love of GOD to HIS creation. Is your life all about you or is it all about HIM?

    based on 15 ratings
     | 26,191 views

    This jarring episode is just as much a part of the Christmas season as the manger scene. Though grim, the fate of the Innocents shows us how and why we share the hope they had in Christ’s second advent

    The primary reason for discipline in the church is to restore the offender both in his fellowship with God and with the church

    So you think there is only one abominable sin? Hmm, what if you are wrong and you are committing one?

    If I use the word abomination from the pulpit what would come into your mind?
