The Paths Of Righteousness Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 2, 2021

In every issue of life the believer has only one question to answer to determine the will of God, and that is, what is right and just? Not, what is the majority for, or what is best for the majority, or what is best for me and my group, but what is just?

A Call For Justice

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Jan 17, 2017

Why do the wicked prosper? Why do the powerful get away with taking advantage of the weak and ...read more
