    For the hardened and haughty heart of the unrepentent sinner, God is heaping up a treasury of wrath to be poured out on the Day of Judgment.

    Treasury of Wrath (Romans 2:1-11) When I say the word “treasure” or “treasury” what is the image that comes to your mind?

How in the world did they end up living in a cave in fear? How in the world did Lot have such a dysfunctional ...read more

It’s just bad taste, that’s what it is, when people feel they have to hang all over each other in public. Great day, what you do see down at the market sometimes, young people so ...read more
