He cuts off every branch that doesn’t produce fruit, and He prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more. JN 15:5 “Yes, I am the vine; you are the ...read more

    In Nahum, God says, "I am against you." We like to emphasize one of the verses of Nahum: "God is slow to anger..." but there is a limit to God’s patience. What happens when we continually turn our backs on God?

The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite. 2 The LORD is a jealous and avenging God; the LORD takes vengeance and is filled with wrath.

So what is ...read more
