Antipas: The Perverse And Putrid Puppet Ruler Of Galilee Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 12, 2021

Contributed by Grant Adams on Apr 29, 2023

I think one of the most effective weapons the devil has ever forged against Christians is this weapon of intimidation

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Aug 27, 2024

Greatness, according to the world's standards, is measured by things such as achievements, status, education, wealth, and individual or corporate contributions to society. While these traits are admirable, they can also be a source of pride, selfishness, self-centeredness, and arrogance. ...read more
