How did Paul’s life change after He was saved? Paul said he was a pattern to those who would be saved after him (1 Timothy 1:16), so I believe we can look at what happened to Paul and learn a lot. After you become a Christian, what can you expect?

Revelation Is Sufficient Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 29, 2021

You need to see this truth that the greatest problems of the church have always been caused by Christians and not unbelievers. Heresy and false teaching, and controversies of all kinds that have hindered the work of Christ have come about by God's own people,

An English boy went into a store to get change for a sovereign, and the clerk asked him if it was good. The boy said, "Certainly it is good. I saw my father make it just this morning." The clerk, of course, refused to take it. Money, like truth, has the shadow of suspicion cast across ...read more
