Island of Incest!
Palmerston Island: An atoll located in the Cook Islands, it was discovered by explorer James Cook in 1774. The Island was first settled in 1863 by Englishman William Marsters; but here is where things get weird… William Marsters settled the island with “multiple Polynesian wives” (three) and sired a large family of some 23 children!

Victory... it's within reach...
If you think victory is unattainable you will not pray to the Spirit for help. Why would you if victory cannot be attained?

Are You Born Again? (Part 1)
Belief Repentance Baptism Spirit-filling It has become popular in the past century to teach that when someone says a “Sinner’s Prayer” that they “receive” Jesus and the “Spirit” comes and lives in them at that moment.
