    Occupy Till I Come

    In our text we read of an individual who had once been controlled by the devil, but the Lord cast the devil out of him and marvelously saved him.

    Of course any person who has been saved surely appreciates what the Lord has done for him, but many times those who have been in the depths of sin almost seem to appreciate their salvation more than those who had led good moral lives. Well, it seems that this man, who had been demon possessed was ...read more
