"Knocking On Heaven's Door"

Contributed by David Henderson on Oct 26, 2018

There’s nothing that reveals more about a believer than his/her prayer life. How we approach God of what we’re willing to ask for shows how we view God. It is very similar to how a child will make a request of their father.

Revelation 1: A Declaration Of Praise And Promise

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 16, 2023

No mere created being, whether it be mortal humanity or malevolent demon, will ever have ...read more
