May the Lord grant us mercy and shine on us in a fresh way that we may see the meaning and significance of the altar of burnt offering, which typifies the cross of Christ. Many Christians “wear the cross” visibly and they may even be proud of it, but what is the real significance of […]
Worshipping God According to the Divine Revelation and Not Inventing our own Religion
The last commandment in the whole Bible is in Rev. 22:9b, where the angel told the apostle John, who fell down at his feet, to worship God. Throughout the Bible, throughout history, and throughout our Christian life we see a struggle for worship: God wants our worship, and Satan seeks to get worship from us. […]
