Don’t Look Back!

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Mar 18, 2010

Why should Christians remember Lot’s wife? Just like Sodom and Gomorrah, before Christ’s return, the world will be saturated with evil. Christians are warned to come out of the world and not be a part of it.

Why is it, then, that a Christian who accepts what God says in the Bible about hell and tries to warn people is ridiculed as an ...read more

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 11, 2022

In America alone, there are approximately four hundred sects and cults, and most ALL of them claim to base their doctrines on the Word of God. This is IMPOSSIBLE!

These cults make you think of all these translations, paraphrases and perversions of the Word of God that are on the market today. They all claim to be the Word of God, but they differ in their translations of the scriptures. So how can they all be the Word of God? Also, we cannot possibly believe ...read more

I once heard Granny Clampett say this about a man named Leif Crick, "he’s the only one I know who can get up in the morning with nothing to do, and at the end of the day he is only half done."
