A REED SHAKEN BY THE WIND?

2Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples, 3And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?

It's interesting that John the Baptist of all people would ask if Jesus is the coming one (Messiah) or not. Why would he doubt that all of a sudden? Wasn't it John who saw the Heaven's open for Him? Wasn't it John that believed HE that should be baptized by Jesus not the other way around? Wasn't it John… Continue

WHO IS SATAN?… REALLY WHO?

You may have heard it said, that Satan was once God's most beautiful angel and that he (Satan) decided to become God and take over, so God sent him down to the earth where he now rules. And so, many say, God and Satan are now in some cosmic chess match over the souls of mankind.

GIVE ME THAT DEAD BODY OF JESUS


Recently, I, and a group of new friends, have been discussing a very important topic, the resurrection.
