Jesus and the Disciples didn’t have a jar or a bucket with them, so they had no way to ...read more

    We have responsibilities in the context of our relationship with God and His church. Peter provides godly guidance for our responsibilities in the Lord's church.

    In the military, after the agreements and oaths, there were responsibilities. They offered training, but I had to train. They gave me equipment, but I had to maintain it.

    It's A Masquerade 2 Corinthians 11:13-15 Elder Clarence Weaver "For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of ...read more
