This verse of our hymn will prove true for us, provided of course, we have been approved by him, for judgment begins at the household of God and we must all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. Seeing then, …
We live in an age of spiritual darkness of increasing and studied insolence toward God. The realm of Christendom has a name that it lives, but is dead. Spiritual darkness covers the earth and gross darkness the people.
