Power of Hope
Most people give more importance to love and faith than they do to hope, but that’s not what Scripture says.

“Our Authority Releases God’s Power”:
Matthew 10:7-8 says, “And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.

QUESTION OF THE DAY: Has God pre-chosen who can be a Christian?
There has been much discussion about whether salvation is available to all mankind, or if it is only reserved for a special group of elect people whom God has already chosen to be born again.
