The Fire And The Calf

Contributed by Rick Pendleton on Nov 7, 2012

Are You Saved?

Contributed by Richard Futrell on Oct 7, 2010

In the Pharisees' hammering out of the truth, they missed Jesus' point. The real question wasn’t, “How many are going to be saved?” The real question was, “Are you going to be saved?”
