  • Our relationship with Israel

    In our world today, we see many people worship false gods. Some worship money, some statues made of wood, gold, silver and many other things. Some call on other people who are dear and in the grave.

    America was founded by our forefathers for two main reasons. One was to worship Jesus, the other was to get out of paying high taxes. When Columbus landed here, he made this statement, “I knew we would find it because we followed the Holy Spirit.”
