    Before the Lord left this earth, He left us, His church, two rites, ordinances or sacraments. Both The Lords Supper and Baptism were meant to be a comfort and something to bring His body closer to one another. In fact the two have caused more division among God’s people than any other ...read more

You might say that Saul was a “religious man.” Actually he was a very religious man! He knew how to pray. He had devoted himself to the ...read more
