CHRIST OVER ALL: “Christ came, who is over all, the eternally blessed God” (Rom 9:5). “The same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him” (Rom 10:12). “He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation” (Col 1:15). John Wesley was walking along a country lane with a […]
“The God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen” (Rom 16:20). Under your feet, sister? Under your feet, brother? Yes!
