    We don’t really know what’s going on. We could be on high alert and they’re not telling us.

  • The gospel is simple. --Jesus Christ, who is God's Son, died on the cross for the sins of every person. He was buried and rose again three days later. --Eternal life is a free gift … received, not earned—by faith alone in Christ alone. --Jesus said in John 6:47. Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on me hath everlasting life. --Once saved, forever saved. Salvation can never be lost! --Trust Jesus alone and forever live.
