john-17:26

As long as the solemn question of the soul’s eternal salvation is left in dark uncertainty there will be little, if any, freedom of spirit to think of that which interests Christ or concerns His glory, apart from the bare matter of the sinner’s peace and safety. On the other hand, when one who profe... Read More

Since 2012, a growing group of believers in North America started to warn of coming persecution to western countries. This message was shared in a variety of ways.

I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 1.
