May 12th, 2016
Wendyl Leslie May 10 at 11:32am Okay fellow GQ writers, I need help with this one: "How many times did God turn Israel over to their enemies?"

Discussion on witnessing with just the NT and Psalms

Ed Chait May 9 at 10:06pm What do you guys think about Christians going out witnessing with just the NT and Psalms? What do you think about "Bibles" that omit most of the OT because that makes them more portable? What about leaving this type of "Bible" as a gift to people when going witnessing?

Question on having the correct belief of God

May 12th, 2016

Encouraging Testimonial

May 6th, 2016
From Shea - An awesome testimonial we received along with a donation: I can not express to you all how much your ministry means to me.

I had spent almost forty years going every 6 months for 1-2 weeks . . .
