In Romans 1:16, God’s ongoing love for the Jewish people is revealed in the Good News of Messiah. Though Paul was the apostle to the Gentiles, he coined the phrase “To the Jew first” regarding God’s faithfulness, and his personal ministry approach (Acts 13:46).

Why is this (end times) book different than all the othe ..read more

By Sam Nadler Of all the miracles the Bible attributes to God, it seems the virgin birth of Messiah arouses the most controversy.
