Porn Promises A Shortcut That’s Really A Dead-End Series

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jul 27, 2018

AN OVERLOOKED TRUTH: Sex was God’s idea and it is a good gift from Him. - Genesis 2:20-25. - The church often comes across as anti-sex.

The Seed And The Sower - Part 2

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Mar 1, 2016

The parable of the seed and the Sower is a snapshot of any society and most likely any congregation. How a person responds to the Word of God indicates what type of soil they are. The seed is perfect. The Sower is generous. What type of soil are you?
