For the Truth
Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates. Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should …
The goodness of God

A Spiritual Awakening
Reading Daniel 7 - 9 today I once again noticed the prayer of Daniel. A prayer of repentance; a prayer of recognition of the holiness and righteousness of God.
