Rob Bell: Universalist? →
It is sad that Rob Bell has chosen this path.

From which I conclude this: Suffering in this world is terrible and limited, but suffering in the next world is terrible and eternal. And love sees it that way. Love does not shut its eyes to this world or that world. Love reckons with the...

Said Musa Released from Prison! →
Praise the Lord!

(Colossians 4:3-4 ESV)

The Apostle Paul - (Philippians 1:12-14...
