For Sunday services: If a woman commits a wrong with a…(Now, wait a minute; I better read this first to myself. You see? “…with a married man, repents and makes it right according to…does she need to…wife and man involved, even if this wife doesn’t know anything…” All right. This is all right.) If a woman commits a wrong with a—a married man, repents and makes it right with her husband according to the Scriptures, does she need to go to the wife of the man involved, even if this wife doesn’t know anything of it; or is it the man’s duty to tell her first; or does she need to be hurt at all?

Then you repented, an...

Question

What does the word 'testify' mean?

Answer

“Oh,” you say, “yeah, but I know. But here it is.” Oh, sure, the snakes are there too. Your name is penned unto it. He might’ve marked you for a death with a cancer, with anything else.

Question

What does it mean that Jesus is the High Priest of our confession?

Answer

Divine healing lays in Calvary. And the only thing that you can do is point to Calvary. And there’s where your salvation lays.

Question

Does even a small sin need to be confessed?

Answer

But the least sin should be confessed, always, no matter what, how little it looks to you, it’s sin in the sight of God. Look how little the first sin was, but look what it did to the human race. When the first sin was committed, look at the difference. When the message came to Heaven that, “Your so...

Question

Is a righteous man a sinless man?
