You’ll notice as we read the Scripture today there are some verses that are quite difficult to understand and on a first reading we may ...read more

For example, many ministers today, if they do not come out and preach it, they imply that if you live a good moral life and attend church frequently, when you die you will go to heaven. But the fact is, the Bible ...read more
