    Contributed by Kent Kessler on May 30, 2025
     | 264 views

    Living a fake life has its consequences, and one is leading other people astray. Could we have created a deity of Jesus--an idol only of Jesus, but actually do not know the real Jesus? Counterfeit Jesus, faith, and gospels have been around since the resurrection.

This gentle man put a piece of the precious stone into his hand and told him to hold it tight. Then he began to talk of philosophy, men, women, the sun and almost everything under ...read more

    This message encourages people to grow up and think for themselves. In the history of redemption, God’s people were once children in His eyes. Now, since Christ has redeemed us, we are adult sons, free from the guardianship of the law.
