     | 3,789 views

    Babylon is dealt a heavy blow as people begin to stream out of her, fight against her, and even discover a new world free from her influence (at least at the beginning). How will she respond to all of these changes?

    FORTY-THREE: PROTESTANTISM This book is not meant to be an endorsement of "Protestantism" over Catholicism, though you may be shocked to hear me say it. It is not quite that simple. For example, "Protestant" England comes about in part as a result of the love-life of Henry VIII. Henry refuses to ...read more

    DECEPTIVE GOLD WORKS ITS PENALTY – GOD IS NOT MOCKED In 1960 Arnold Long, a missionary to the people of the Australian outback, wrote “The Bushman’s Guide.

     | 2,013 views

    Faith and works. This is the duo that is inseparable for James. James lays that out pretty plainly in this passage. Faith and works must go together. Belief and action, words and deeds.

    Text: James 2:14-26 DT: James is telling us that we need to not only talk HIS talk, but walk HIS walk. When I was a kid I had a favorite duo. Two things that went together that one without the other just didn’t happen or it just didn't make sense that was Woody and Buzz lightyear. I love the ...read more
