     | 6,610 views

    Years ago, a major Protestant denomination removed many hymns that spoke of the blood of Jesus, citing they did not want to offend people. However, without the blood of Jesus Christ "there can be no remission of sin"...and we need to be reminded of that!

NKJV As we approach Passion Week in the next month, we are going to focus on some of the key teachings that surround the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. Back ...read more

    We shouldn't be surprised by the increase of evil in the world today; it was predicted by the Apostle Paul in 2 Thess. 2:1-12. Its growth indicates how close the Rapture of the Church is.
