There is a God in Heaven who has blessed us as a nation. We’ve enjoyed unprecedented wealth, conveniences and power over the past 200+ years; blessings of produce, crops, and livestock – all dependent on favorable weather.

God gave it… because so many people were doing what was wrong” (Galatians 3:19; Bible in Worldwide English version).

But within that overall framework, there are at least five major reasons for the institution of the Old Covenant that we find in Scripture. Let’s examine these five reasons now one at a time: Continue reading →

Lawlessness In Today’s World

Posted on by

Jesus Christ, Paul and others warned that as the end of this age approaches lawlessness would grow worse, although the world has been generally lawless since the beginning of human history.
