class, others second class. In nearly every case, the segregation of the
church results from add-ons to the simple, pure gospel of C ...

Betrayed By God
... Christmas. This is the time when you
need every penny but the only thing he's getting now is lost-wages paid by his
insurance company. It doesn't even close to what he would be making if the deli
were still up and running. But it's better than nothing, I guess.
His business has been through a lot of hardships over the last 16 years.
Another difficulty was the building of the Blue Route near his business. The
construction blocked almost everyone from entering the building. I don't know
if you could blame God for that sort of problem or maybe it was just fate. But
with these dilemmas and problems, he didn't ...

David And Goliath
... that Goliath had defied the armies of the
living God, and for that he would be punished. David's strength, it seems,
dwelled in "the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel" (1
Samuel 17:45). However, Goliath was dependent on the power of weapons, and was
