Contributed by Richard Tow on Jun 3, 2024

Preachers In Perdition

Contributed by Michael Stark on Jun 6, 2024

Many professed Christians will be turned away from Heaven because they have trusted an act rather than trusting the Son of God.

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
