THE UNTOUCHABLES

In today’s world so full of sorrow and suffering, there is a breath of fresh air that the Lord has sent to encourage people in their troubles, which is the Holy Bible.  Notice I said “Holy” Bible, for it is sent from God himself, Holy and pure, to express His love for His creation.  By reading it, we find the express image of God in both His character and purpose.  We see God, who is above all, wanting fellowship with mankind, revealing himself to us as the loving heavenly Father He is.  When Christ Jesus came into His earthly ministry, He described himself as the express image of His Father, doing and saying only what He saw His Father in heaven do.

There is a weapon the devil uses against everyone, and it’s pretty hard to escape its harm, but not impossible.  What might that weapon be?  Continue Reading »
