A popular message today attempts to discredit the notion that God has wrath toward sin. The proponents of this message claim that because God is love, and everything God does is motivated by love, that God cannot have wrath.
Today’s post in the Vlog series “Gospel Truth” will examine a host of scriptures which clearly and [...]

The Coming One-World Religious System
(NOTE: This is a continuation of the Wolves in Wool Series. This post assumes the prerequisite reading of earlier posts)
