Why Christ Came By Paris Reidhead* As we think of the birth of the Lord Jesus, we must consider that He came to die, and to be raised again, and to ascend into Heaven, and come back the second time. And we who rejoice at His birth the first time are the ones that are longing for His return the secon... Read More

THERE CAN BE NO DOUBT, dear friends that this is one of the most difficult passages in the Word of God. It has a depth in which an elephant may swim. Many have stumbled over it to their own destruction. Pray unfeignedly that we may be kept from erring in speaking from it. There are two principle int... Read More

"And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, when a land sinneth against Me by committing a trespass, and I stretch out mine hand upon it, and break the staff of the bread thereof, and send famine upon it, and cut off from it man and beast; though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Jo...
