2 Thessalonians 2:13-17 | Able to Live
July 25, 2008 – 4:27 pm
Christians are able to live for Christ now and to the very end of the world, despite the trials of satanic deception, because God has elected them and saved them in Christ.

2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 | Satanic Deception
July 17, 2008 – 4:01 pm
