    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Feb 28, 2022
     | 3,209 views

    As believers we are to have a testimony that rings out like the Thessalonian believers. We have turned from worthless things to Jesus. Our lives become a testimony when we continue our walk with Christ with patient endurance. That is when our faith rings out.

    The Book Of Lamentations – Part 21 – What The Lord Hates And God’s Sovereignty In Declaring Good Or Evil - Chapter 3:33-38 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jun 6, 2025
     | 281 views

    We look at what worthless persons do; what the Lord hates, and the system in the world including injustice. False prophets are considered – they are always around. The sovereign God dispenses good and ill, that is, eternal life and eternal death. Good and ill proceed from God in heaven.

    This is a message that attempts to draw our attention to the reason the Gift of Jesus is so indescribable when it comes to man’s efforts to describe Him.
