In the Old Testament, God gives the freed Israelites many directives for living. Many of these laws that seem strange to us were actually instructions for the well-being of the people.

Many are lost and hopeless and do not know the only answer lies in Jesus Christ. (continue reading…)

“As God’s partners, we beg you not to accept this marvelous gift of God’s kindness and then ignore it.” 2 Corinthians 6:1. It is better not to even have heard the Gospel, than for someone to hear and reject it. (continue reading…)
