God Can
Consider the days of Israel. A drought had crushed the spirit of three attending armies. In response to their dilemma, the prophet Elisha was called. Through the anointing of the Spirit, he told them to dig ditches in the valley. He said, 2 Ki 3:16-18 Thus saith the LORD, Make this valley full of ditches. […]

Falling Away
Upon review of both the birth and death of Jesus Christ, there are numerous occurrences of prophecies which were fulfilled.

Evidence Of Belief
Is it possible to be a faithful church member, believer, giver and still be lost? Is it possible to preach, sing in choirs, teach Sunday school class and miss the rapture? Paul faced the possibility of this matter with great sobriety. 1 Corinthians 9:27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: […]

Decoration Day
