  • Sabbath As Defiance

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Apr 26, 2015
     | 5,088 views

    To qualify as worship, our corporate religious activities must include sound preaching. To fail to include this vital aspect of worship is to condemn our congregations to an insipid presence in the midst of a hostile world.

For the time is coming when people will ...read more

He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Abi the daughter of Zechariah. And he did what was right in ...read more
