This letter was written shortly after 1 John to warn about false teachers. Little has changed in two thousand years. Advocates of unorthodox beliefs still exist ...read more

    Simon of Cyrene came to offer a lamb and carried the cross for the Lamb of God. One-half mile separated the Temple from the Cross; Simon saw both covenants in operation and sided with the grace of Jesus!
