THE LORD KNOWETH HOW 2 Peter 2: 9-12 The Spirit of God warns believers about this day in which we live. (Amos 8:11) As religious as this world is, yet as ungodly as this world is, we should always remember that God is fulfilling his purpose even with false teachers and false religion in this world. […]
