The Evangel  Defending the Faith A BELIEVER is “one who believes,” that is, one who has faith in something or someone.

We hope to show, however,…

The Evangel  GOD IS JEALOUS lest you think He is not just. “But I thought that when He saves anyone He overlooks his sins.” Not at all. If that were true Christ need not have died. The blood of Christ is a continual reminder of the fact that God must do right even if He…
