Running from Victory

Romans 11:1-6 Set Aside, But Not Forgotten
Set Aside; But Not Forgotten Romans 11:1-6 Paul has now pointed out clearly Israel’s rejection of Jesus as Messiah. Israel is a very religious people, but lost as a nation.

Seven Abominations 3
HANDS THAT SHED INNOCENT BLOOD Proverbs 6:16-19 If God "Hates hands that shed innocent blood", then He loves the hands that preserve life. A self oriented society only values self.

Scripture Of The Day 092210
"And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow Him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word. Then said Elijah unto the people, I, even I only, remain a prophet of the LORD; but Baal’s …
