SON OF MAN
One of the most insidious lies perpetuated by modern-day churchianity is that Jesus is God.

Only those who don’t know Jesus would call him God. (more…)
APPROACHING THE GREAT DIVIDE
Scripture is very clear that one day, there will be two camps of people: those who love God and follow Jesus, and those who don’t.
