Weekend Links
When the people of God cease to pursue holiness or begin to justify their unrighteousness, all the testimony of Scripture in both Testaments is that God’s judgment is mounting the horizon. Such is the growing body of evidence and the first link below is one of “the canary’s in the mine” indicators. Ironic that as our culture turns its back on Christ, Muslims are turning to Christ around the world. Fewer links in my weekend round up but there are some good ones here. As always, I can’t vouch for all their content.
