    It seems that in the church today we hear less and less about the blood of Christ, why it was necessary for Him to die and what it means to our eternal destiny.

    This past Thursday was the Fourth of July, Independence Day in the old US of A! Fireworks! Parades! A National Holiday! Independence from the will and domination of an earthly king! But, what was the price of this freedom. The lives of countless people. The shedding of blood for the cause of ...read more

And all the believers used to meet together in Solomon’s Colonnade. 13 No one else dared join them, even though they were highly regarded by the people. 14 Nevertheless, more ...read more

     | 12,567 views

    Why do the good die young and the wicked live to an old age? Do the good always die because of sin or could there be a blessing in an early death??

    If only the good die young then I will be here a very long time because there is no good in me except for what God has done for me and the Holy Spirit who lives in me. Other than that I’ve got nothing. We struggle with death and come to some peace with it when people die in their 80s, 90s ...read more
