Not For Your Own Righteousness
If there were no God like so many are trying to tell us through atheistic and "scientific" thought; this world would have been destroyed way before now.

This is both a promise for their keeping their oath; … Continue reading Subdued Before the LORD
A Zeal for GOD, and Holiness
Sometimes I fear, due to what some call grace, that holiness is a forgotten quality within Christianity. We need the zeal of Phinehas in dealing with sin; starting with our own sins. Due to the deceptive, lying, personal aggrandizing of Balaam to make his own greed successful the Moabites came in with lusty pleasures to … Continue reading A Zeal for GOD, and Holiness
