The Apostle Paul was a very good pattern of laboring and struggling to present every man full-grown in Christ (Col. 1:28-29).

In eternity past there used to be only one will: God’s will. But Lucifer, who was […]
Working Out Our Own Salvation by Building Up Christ in Our Experience Day by Day
Before Noah started to build the ark, he was already walking with God – this means he was already righteous. Why did he need to still build the ark if he was already walking with God? This question also applies to all the genuine believers in Christ: since we are saved, why do we still […]
