– John MacArthur The twelve apostles included “John” (Matt. 10:2). Some people picture John as overly sentimental and egotistical, lying with his head on Jesus’ shoulder and constantly referring to himself as the disciple whom Jesus loved. But that’s not an accurate characterization of one of the “Son of thunder”! He loved Jesus deeply and […]

By Justin Edwards You’ve all seen them on car bumpers and rear glass, maybe you even have one on your own car. If that’s the case, please continue reading.

The Judgment Seat of Christ – Leonard Ravenhill Oh God, stamp eternity on my eyeballs! But you know if God should stamp eternity or even judgment on our eyeballs or if you’d like on the fleshy table of our hearts. I am quite convinced we’d be a very very different tribe of people, God’s people, […]
