The Value of You

I am the property of Jesus Christ, and only in Him is my value computed. And, since property value is determined by statute to be based upon its “highest and best use,” then perhaps His suffering and death… Read More

The Lord’s Bondman

The Revelation given to the apostle John is very specific about who it’s written to. Yet, many who claim to belong to Jesus Christ are taught that this prophecy can be readily interpreted and applied to their lives… Read More
