Signs Of The End.

“When these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh” (LUKE 21:28).

SIGNS OF THE END. Luke 21:25-33.

The Compelling Love Of God

Contributed by W Pittendreigh on Oct 21, 2006

Does God’s love make any difference in our lives and in the way we live? It should. Do we just love a little, or are we dedicated and committed to loving others as God loves us?

Will The Defendant Please Rise

Contributed by Roquel Williams on Apr 18, 2002

Judgment is a final ruling or decision made in a court of law. We have, according to the constitution, the right to a fair trial. Facts must ...read more

"A Christian Response To War"

Contributed by David Washburn on Mar 24, 2003
