While receiving my weekly phone call out of Syria from Pastor R*****, I was reminded of a passage of Scripture in Philippians: For I know that this will turn out for my deliverance through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, according to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but […]

WHY JESUS? Part 2

As discussed in part one, the fall of Adam in the Garden of Eden left his relationship with his Creator broken. Not only that, but death was brought into the picture, not just for the human race but also for creation itself.
