Disrespecting Police Offers and Speaking Evil Against Them Is Not Resurrection Power

Religion
A Rebel Heart for God
Only if it's broken, repentant, and surrendered
I thought of this again several times this month already:
“For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft,

I wonder what side of this story is offered by the village authorities.
I wonder what the Protestants did or didn’t do to trigger this action.
I wonder what the Pope’s stance is on this. Read it all
Wishing You Could Help Fleeing Iraqis?
Christian Aid Ministries is looking to assist. Do you want to help?
I’m not here to report on the news. You don’t need that.
I’m here to let you know how you can help, if seeing and hearing about the unfolding collapse in Iraq makes you wish you could help the suffering ones somehow.
You know about Christian Aid Ministries, right?
