(1 Corinthians 15:54-57) “So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; […]
There will be a resurrection of the dead. Some of the Corinthians were not so sure. They were more than doubting, they were saying that there would not be a resurrection of the dead. Paul had preached that there would be a resurrection of the dead when he first came to Corinth. He had preached […]
George Mueller (27 September 1805 – 10 March 1898) _“He cared for 10,024 orphans during his lifetime, and provided educational opportunities for the orphans to the point that he was even accused by some of raising the poor above their natural station in British[1] life.
