Power In The Word!

Contributed by Bala Samson on Oct 29, 2013

The Truth Of The Word

Contributed by Dr. David Wesner on May 14, 2015

I believe that many people are, without realizing it, shaping their relationship with God based on excuses. Lack of time is our most popular excuse. Lack of comprehension is a close second. People say to me, “Time is a problem, for sure, but my real problem with the Bible is that I just ...read more
