    Futuristic promises are recorded in God's Word. Satan doesn’t want the saints to believe such promises for trusting in them removes the anguish caused by them. So then, how does one stand in an upright position when everything seems to go against thee?

    “You Choose” “The Lord will make you the head, not the tail. . . you will always be at the top, never at the bottom.” Deuteronomy 28:13 I can remember hearing this statement from my childhood. The severity of this statement wasn’t clear to me at that time. To be ...read more

A failure to be students of scripture with nothing that God can use, leaves a spiritual vacuum for the next generation.
