The history of Israel during this time is comparative to the situation of many of our churches today. What are you doing to make sure this isn't the case in your church?
The scriptures are the very words of God. It has been said that it is God's love letter to man. How much effort do you put forth to know the holy scriptures?

Is it possible that there are people among us who could never get saved?
