American Idols Series

Contributed by Terry Blankenship on Mar 13, 2012

God hates idolatry. It competes for His attention and He is a jealous God. We belong to Him. Are we living like it?

It is believed that John the Apostle wrote this book or letter around 85-95 AD. It was written to a man named Gaius in order to warn ...read more

Contributed by Joe Rowland on Jun 29, 2009

We have an advocate, we have a Lawyer that will go to battle for us. Satan wants to trap us in sin and he wants us to think after we have sinned, then there is no hope. Jesus came to set us free, and who He sets free is free indeed.
