One must realise that it’s easy to misunderstand the Bible if you only read one verse at a time. It’s so easy to go off track if the context, not only of the chapter but also the entire Bible, is not well understood. I really like the Message translation because it puts God’s Word in […]
Read moreIn most cases, being born into a family has advantages. I say most cases because unfortunately some families simply tear one another down.

Read moreI saw a video of a priest who said satan wasn’t fighting against Muhammed. He wasn’t fighting against Buddha, and even less against Krishna. He was only fighting against Jesus. Why? Because Jesus is the only One who conquered him! You see, the only problem satan has is Jesus Christ. Jesus conquered him and, therefore, […]
