God’s ultimate heart desire for humanity
Keeping an open mind to God’s word while we’re engaged in well-meaning doctrinal review is crucial for believers. Although scrutiny can catalyse differences, it doesn't make it unnecessary. Differences can be healthy by showing us complementarity or safety lines....
Once saved, always Saved
It’s important to be aware that the only means by which the human race can "escape" the enslavement of Satan, sins and the law of sin and death is Jesus Christ, God’s Son Acts 4:12, Romans 8:2. The word "escape" is synonymous with “saved or a believer”—that is, a...
The Bread of Heaven
There are monstrous problems in our communities and they're affecting everyone dwelling on the earth. We can't pretend to be unconcerned. However, it's worse to pretend we have them under control--- pretending in this way can cause us to be engrossed with...
