BISHOP OHU @ 60, A Guardian of Orthodoxy – “Drive Away Strange Doctrine.”

HOLINESS, THE CHURCH’S BURIED TALENT.

The parable of the Talents as an earthly story with heavenly meaning beyond a parable about money or personal stewardship is a parable directed to the church and disciples.

Holiness is not only optional...

Are You in Christ or Church? Christianity in the Light of Jesus’ Second Coming.

The New Testament establishes the doctrine of the Second Coming. The parable of the Ten Virgins warns that all who believe in Jesus Christ must constantly examine their spiritual condition in the light of Christ’s coming at an unknown and expected time.
