Monday Meditation - With Nancy Jackson Episodes
Each Monday at 6 am I am going to be having ‘Monday Meditations’. I hope to bring to you each Monday a verse to mediate on for the week. This is not for memorization, but to think about and to dwell on. The word meditate, in the bible, means to mutter. So this week as you go about your life, think about and mutter to yourself the verse for the week and think about how it applies to your life. Meditating on a verse will bind it to your spirit and it will become part of you! The more of the Word you meditate on, the more it will transform you into the image of Christ!

Friday Finale - Punishment of the Impostors – Episode 11
Originally written October 21, 2011 Posted here: https://forthesakeofthetruth.com/2011/10/21/the-punishment-of-the-imposters/ Christians have gotten a bad rap in many circles.

And that the churches they had been to just expected them to live a certain way, which they could not; therefore, they ...
