There are some people in the Bible that had a shameful past or shameful beginning but the Lord still used them. Some of them had been discarded by men, discounted and dismissed even but the God of heaven and earth, still purposed in his sovereignty to use them. JEPHTHAH is one such person. He was…
(The Faith Forum Series – Batch 12) Hebrews 10 states that as those who Jesus, in him offering his body once for all (vs. 10) and as a sacrifice for sins forever (vs. 12), has, through this one offering, enabled us to obtain perpetual sanctification and perfected us forever (vs. 14), this knowledge of who…
