The church demonstrates to the world the manifold wisdom of God (Ephesians 3:10). However, this wisdom is brought into question and we weaken our witness when we...
In Revelation 6:10, when the 5th seal is opened, we hear the saints call out, “O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before you will judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” This call echoes the warning in Psalm 105: “Touch not my anointed ones, do my prophets no harm”.
