The Perils Of Backsliding

Contributed by Douglas Phillips on Apr 22, 2017

The Danger Of Doing What Is Right In Your Own Sight

Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Aug 6, 2023

The church has had far too much in common with the children of Israel back in the days when there was no king. We must cry out against the Spiritual, Moral, and Ethical Depravity that is being allowed to happen in the churches today.

Maughmer, Jr. PRAYER: SCRIPTURES: - Judges 17 – 21 Deuteronomy 12:8 says, “You shall not do as we are doing here today, everyone doing what is right in his own eyes”.
