No, He did not move every mountain Nor part every sea! He moved and parted what ever He wanted, According to His own plan and purpose. He healed some and visited some; He didn’t go to China or Australia or Europe; Didn’t even come on over here to America! The purposes of the Triune God […]

I would be failing to treat him with the dignity that is appropriate […]

Your sin is paid for by none other than God, Himself. None other could bear the penalty and survive! Indeed, No […]
