     | 7,918 views

    If we believe that He came, that He died, that He rose, that He ascended, then we must believe He will come again. He said so.

The first is that there may be some, or even one here, to whom this will be new; and in that case, it is important, and more than that, my duty, to present it. ...read more

    The number of ’nay’ sayers, discouragers, destroyers in the church will increase. But true believers have the knowledge that leads to salvation.

    There may have been other letters from Paul to Timothy, and more than likely, some going the other way.

He mentions Timothy in Romans, in First and Second Corinthians, ...read more

    This morning, I’d like to begin with a question. Is Thanksgiving a Christian holiday? The word "holiday," after all, comes from the phrase "holy day".
