BIBLE MEDITATION : “I am the vine; you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. John 15:5   ENCOURAGING WORD:   As I read this verse, something became very clear to me that I really didn’t think about until now. I’ll put it in a simple to understand way as to how this teaching should make us think. Jesus is the Vine; we are the branches. What happens to a branch after it breaks away from the vine? It eventually

He warned that there are fake believers — people who look Christian, talk Christian, act Christian…but on Judgment Day, they will be exposed.   And the terrifying part? These aren’t just atheists. These aren’t just people who rejected God. These are people who served, prayed, worshiped, and genuinely believed they were saved. People who confidently call Him “Lor

Those that I have listened to I believe are the greatest Bible scholars in the world. I’ve done the best that I could do to surround myself with solid Bible scholars. They teach through the Bible, verse by verse and don’t get caug
