Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Jul 1, 2017

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 14, 2022

Isaiah passages about the Restoration of Israel continue as we look at the great things God will do at the start of the Millennium when He will call back to Israel all the Jews saved in the Tribulation (called the remnant). This part of scripture is so neglected.

It Is Time To Consider Your Ways

"roadblocks To Revival."

Contributed by Dr. Jerry Hulse on Jul 3, 2022

Some church services today resemble a Broadway play where the pastor is the playwright, with people leaving more entertained than elevated, for a church can only be as spiritual as their leaders and you cannot give what you do not have, especially when Hollywood has infiltrated the church.
