To the casual observer there is no difference between the Gospel preached in power and in the Holy Ghost and in much assurance, and the sensual gospel preached in the energy and power of the flesh. May God help us in His Word by "piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit". Copyright 2022 Joshua Burks (See About page for full copyright information)

Join us as we discover a scriptural legacy of heresy coming from within the very church, as promised by the apostles of the Lamb. It should be no wonder to us that the great christian cults claim lineage and succession of apostleship all the way back to Christ and Peter; for Peter himself and the other apostles warned us that such would be the case. May God's Word open the eyes of the blind and wa...

Through much affliction, God purifies and refines His children. This is not something we like to think of or go through, but it is part of a loving Father's hand. Just as any earthly father will lovingly train and teach his child in order that he will learn to do right, so does our Heavenly Father train and teach us.
