In last week's column, we compared the choices of punishment David was offered by God and current events. David was offered the choice between famine, military defeat, and pestilence (disease).

Itching Ears And The Power Of God

America’s Fall
There are many parallels between the United States today and Israel in the time of Jeremiah the prophet. Both nations were heavy into sin, and the sins are similar. Israel turned to idolatry.

He always does a good job, gets it done fast and will not charge an arm and leg.” The trust may … Continue reading The faith of change
