    Jesus vs. Muhammad I don’t think it’s necessary for me to identify which one gives life and which one led wars. ”War can’t give life. It can only take it away.” - Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong @Wrangler @Armour of God @NayborBear Don’t allow the fear of evil men and what they can do...

    “The average person reads over 265 social media posts, emails, and text messages on their phones or tablets every single day. Proof-positive that we really do have time to read our Bibles and pray every single day. We just choose to use our time on lesser important things.” (Shane Pruitt)...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    From my X / Twitter “Following” feed this afternoon - “I did not meet Jesus in a church. And I definitely was not looking for Him. I was not saved by a pastor. I met Jesus while reading the Quran. And the wildest part was this: He was already there. Surah 3:45 calls Him the Messiah...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    That’s not what the followers of Jesus would rather for you or anyone else. That’s what some, not all, of the enemies of Jesus would rather for the followers of Jesus. ”We do not use the weapons of the world” are the words spoken in scripture by a follower of Jesus, not by an enemy of Jesus...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    “neither shall they learn war anymore.” (Isaiah 2:4) “neither shall they learn war anymore.” (Micah 4:3) That’s the vision of the prophets for the administration of the Messiah. The early Christians believed that in following the Messiah they were to show the world what it looks like to...
