THE KINGDOMS OF THIS WORLD

   As we study God’s Word, we are assured at some point things will no longer be “business as usual”.  The world is becoming more filled with wickedness every passing day.  Ever since the entrance of sin into the world at the Garden of Eden, there has been evil in the world, sometimes more, sometimes less, but it’s always been with us.  Each generation looks back and says the older days were better, and I have to agree. But I take much comfort in knowing that evil will have an end.  Continue Reading »

DID GOD CREATE DEATH?

    Many have asked, Why did my loved one die even after they were prayed for?  Today I will try to explain something the Lord impressed upon me concerning death.  It’s a hard subject to deal with, when we know God is the author of life.  But is He also the author of death?  Continue Reading »
