8. The Parable Of The Weeds Series

Contributed by Don Jaques on May 29, 2007

Knowing God

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Sep 12, 2017

Paul wrote to Timothy, "I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until that day." There is a great difference between knowing about God, and knowing God. Paul knew the one to whom he trusted all.

God's Love Has Your Name On It

Contributed by Alan Perkins on Aug 25, 2002

More and more, as we go through the day, whenever we’re dealing with a branch of government, or a ...read more
