What Do People Do In Heaven? Series

Contributed by Ken Henson on Jul 14, 2018

Any ability or talent or appearance or power or fame we receive is entirely derivative-an expression of His goodness imputed to us for a short while. Satan wanted worship for himself. Saints seek to bring worship to their God.

And around the throne, twenty four thrones, and on the thrones twenty four elders sitting, clothed in white garments, and on their heads, golden crowns (of victory) And out of the throne came lightnings and voices and thunders, and seven fiery lamps burning before the throne, which are the seven ...read more

It Is Well With My Soul Series

The Power Of Pain

Contributed by Luther Sexton on Jul 28, 2003
