Every single one of us deserves to have the wrath of God poured out on us because of our sins. But God wants to save us and reconcile us back to Himself. This is our dilemma, God’s wrath demands our eternal punishment, but God’s love seeks our salvation and reconciliation. The only answer is that someone must take our place and bear the brunt of God’s wrath. That someone is none other than Jesus Christ, the only Son of God and the only perfect sacrifice for sin. He took upon himself the punishment for our sins and thus set us free from God’s wrath. This freedom is only available to those who have been buried in His blood and washed clean from their sins. Will you make that decision?

Such good works flow from a heart filled with God’s goodness. Does this describe your heart? Is it filled with God’s goodness? If not, is it because you aren’t growing in the fruit of the Spirit? Is it because you are still living in Satan’s domain of darkness? Do you need Christ to set you free?
Pride is a dangerous weapon which Satan uses against God’s people. The question is what do we do when we stumble, when we are brought low and destroyed by our…
How do we grow churches in the twenty-first century? Simply put, we look back at the first century and learn from the men who started churches all over the Roman world. Those men put their lives on the line to plant churches throughout the Mediterranean.
