allegiance wholly to this God who is real and who answers our prayers. Only the true God
can be our true help. - May 7, 2021Fire of Protection

Final FireGod’s fire burns throughout the Bible, and we see it dramatically at the End Times in Revelation. But what is the purpose of God’s burning fire at the Last Day? It’s not for punishment!
