    Introduction Not everyone believes in Angels. In Jesus’ day the Sadducees denied their existence, that’s why they were sad-u-see (Acts 23:8). Not only do I believe in them but like you have had personal encounters with them. Of course, I may not see them visibly, however, they are there hard at ...read more

    As believers we have entered into His rest by grace (peace with God) AND that we also must make every effort to obtain what God has already provided (peace of God)...

    Thus, if someone truly wants to observe the Sabbath Day in modern times (New Testament era), that’s a tall order! One that I do not think anyone could keep, because as religious as the Jews were, they could not keep it (Acts 15:10).

Q: What happens when we ride a horse all day? Q: What happens when we operate an air-conditioner all day? Q: ...read more
