But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.

House of Ill Repute
Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints. For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who … Continue reading House of Ill Repute
Not Even a Hint

In America (USA), we are saturated with the Word of God. Bibles are sold nearly everywhere that books are sold, and the last that I looked, they could be rented from the public library, and some ministries even give them out for free. Scriptures are posted on billboards, on Facebook, on Twitter, and the Bible … Continue reading Blind, But Have Eyes
Who Hates the Light?
John 3:16 ESV “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” Our God is a triune God – Father, Son (Jesus Christ), and Holy Spirit – three distinct personalities in one person, one Godhead. They are all one God … Continue reading Who Hates the Light?
