“Then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart” (Jeremiah 14:14). False prophets have always twisted God’s truth. God […]

The date-setters are discouraged. September 23, 2025, has come and gone, and the Rapture didn’t happen. Date setting is always an exercise in futility. If God had wanted us to know the exact date of the Rapture, He would have made it crystal clear. He didn’t, yet Christians everywhere sold their property, isolated themselves, and […]

If the foundation is built on unstable land, then the whole building will be wonky and unstable. On the other hand, building upon a […]
