JESUS CHRIST IS THE TRUTH

He may know the truths of mathematics and arithmetic – he may know many of the common everyday truths; but still it cannot be […]

NEO-LIBERALISM FOLLOWS SAME EVIL METHODOLOGY OF LIBERALISM

Neo-Liberalism’s Hijacking of Biblical Terminology The old liberalism and today’s neo-liberalism both hijack the terminology of authentic Biblical Christianity to formulate counterfeit doctrines.
