They managed to avoid lockdowns by contact tracing, rapid testing, and empowering the public to gather and... Continue Reading

God works through a remnant. There are innumerable professing Christians in the world, but the tares are rampant within that body. However, there is the wheat within. This remnant is of priceless value to God’s purposes. We must ask ourselves if we are part of this remnant who lives for God’s glory alone in all... Continue Reading
