    Commit Your Soul To God: 1 Peter 4:17-19

    Chastening vs judgment. Sometimes the truths that are the hardest to hear are the healthiest for our hearts and minds.

There are more snippets like this one on my channe

    Homosexuality: “But they LOVE each other” REFUTED

    Answering pro-gay slogans so that people won’t be tricked by them. The problem is NOT just that these slogans support homosexual acts, it’s that they are deceptive at the core. “Love is not the condition that makes otherwise wrong things OK.”

    "Who are YOU to JUDGE?" Refuted
