Are you tipping the scales to get what you want? Maybe using the wrong scales? “You are all wrong
because you know neither the Scriptures [which teach the resurrection] nor the power of God [for He is able to raise the dead].”
I would rather stand with God and be judged by the world. Yes!
I really liked this comment by Robert Burns – a good little twist of words on J.D. Farag‘s YouTube: What the future holds: (Read comments at end of this article. I have copied some to the FOR MORE section below.) robert burns 1 month ago: I would rather stand with God and be judged […]
Mars Hill
Acts 17:10-34 …examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so Paul at Berea 10 The brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea, [a]and when they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, [b]for they received the word with […]
2 Timothy 4:1-8
I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom: 2 preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with [a]great patience and instruction. 3 For the time will come when they […]
Hebrews 10:31
It is “no light matter” to “turn our backs on all we’ve learned, all we’ve been given,
