End Innocent Bloodshed

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Jul 22, 2020

You cannot pray for God's protection of your land and shed innocent blood. If you support the shedding of innocent blood you are as guilty as the one shedding the blood. How clean are your hands?

Contributed by Duane Wente on Feb 6, 2023

What Did Jesus Do About Children? Series

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Jan 17, 2009

Cities Of Refuge Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 1, 2022

In addition, give them forty-two other cities” (GNB) In the above mentioned verse we understand that the Lord had commanded that six cities ...read more
