The Gog/Magog Prophecy Revealed

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Nov 14, 2022

And for a time, I also believed this was the prophecy ...read more

Let God Help You Overcome Fear

Contributed by Todd Schäve on Jun 27, 2001

People sometimes seek to frighten us with fear to deter us from our purpose. But Jesus didn’t let the Pharisees’ false warning deter him from his hour. How about you? Are you trusting in the Lord and his purpose for you, or are you running away in fear all tied up in knots with concerns?

Anchors For Life

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Oct 6, 2004
