"We churchmen are gifted at changing wine into water - watering down r ...

JESUS CHRIST said, "I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH." Did He build it? That Church, said Jesus, would NEVER be extinguished. "And the gates of hell (the grave)," He said, "shall not prevail against it" (Mat. 16:18). Christ's Church is to LAST THROUGH all ages! Has it? WHERE IS ...

Paul said Christ is "our Passover" sacrifice. What did he mean? Most people assume that Christ's death FINISHED the plan of God. Nothing could be further from the truth. Let's understand why. ...
