What are the righteous to do when the world is falling about? When the lovers of violence and injustice are shooting arrows at the followers of the way? Psalm 11 responds to these questions, and the answer is rooted in Yahweh’s identity, faithfulness, and love. Bobby Valentine and John Mark Hicks discuss the meaning of […]

Dead in our sins we walked in the passions of the flesh and were enslaved by the powers that rule and work disobedience in humanity.

LA RESISTENCIA FIEL DE JOB EN LA HISTORIA DE DIOS                         ¿Qué es el hombre para que le des tanta importancia?                                    que le prestes tanta atención,                          que lo examines cada mañana                                      y ponerlo a prueba en cada momento?                         ¿Nunca apartarás la mirada de mí?                                  ¿O dejarme en paz aunque sea por […]

Anyone who has violated the law of Moses dies without mercy “on the testimony […]
