    In 1984, James Ealy was convicted in the 1982 brutal murders of 33 year old Christine Parker, her two children and one grandchild. Two years later, the Illinois Appellate Court overturned the conviction - even as justices acknowledged Ealy almost certainly was guilty. They said police had arrested ...read more

    The first two works/deeds of the flesh here in Galatians 5, fall generally into the two pitfalls of: 1) Sexuality (Galatians 5:19), and 2) Religion, (Galatians 20a)

     | 12,052 views

    Giving one’s testimony involves telling others 1- How we were before we met Christ; telling them about the circumstances that 2- Led us to meet Christ; and 3- The difference Christ has made in our lives since we met Him.

    What is the most crucial testimony in a court of law? Actually there are three: One is a picture or video taken of a person committing a crime.
