“Everything is pure to those whose hearts are pure. But nothing is pure to those who are corrupt and unbelieving, because their minds and consciences are corrupted.

Salvation (Part 2)
“There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12 NLT) In a very real sense, personal salvation, the ability of an individual person to be saved, wasn’t available until the Holy Spirit was given.

Can We Come to God Anytime?
“Remember what it says: ‘Today when you hear His voice, don’t harden your hearts as Israel did when they rebelled.’” (Hebrews 3:15 NLT) If anyone could have seen with crystal clarity the power of God, it should have been the freshly delivered Hebrew slaves from Egypt.

Weary of Waiting?
“For we know that all creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.
