An Inspired Description Of The Church

Contributed by Grant Adams on Jan 31, 2020

In these verses of scripture, we have an authentic description of the true church of God. This is what God, Himself, says about the church. On every hand today the church and the very use of the word “church” is misunderstood.

Thou Art The Christ

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Dec 1, 2019

If Jesus wasn't the Christ, our faith would be in vain, and we would yet be without salvation. If He is the Christ, and we know He is, then He is the only source of hope for humanity. We all must deal with the question regarding the identity of Jesus. How we respond will affect our eternity.
