Sexual Purity

Great Resource!

I am recommending this website to all who are hungry and thirsty for the word of God: Enduringword.com
 
It is one of the richest websites you can find. In this website, you find commentaries of men of God who have gone from this life centuries ago, but their messages are still alive and well.
 
These men of God, such a Charles Spurgeon, John Owen and many more, helped, and still helping millions of people, like me, to have a better understanding of the word of God.

Please make this website your best friend as you go into your “war-room” (prayer-room) – to read/study the Bible, to love and adore the Holy Spirit and to fight and win against the devil, the flesh and this dark world. Praise God!
 
Today, I studied Hebrews chapter 8 and I studied this chapter using Enduringword.com. 
 
Let me share with you just part of what I read from this wonderful website regarding this particular chapter of the Bible, Hebrews 8 (Please, please! Read this carefully):
