The first belief statement in the Apostles Creed is: I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. The first words recorded in the Bible are: “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1) Everything else proceeds from that declaration. God is infinite. Before anything was created, he existed. When he […]
The person of Jesus Christ and the Holy Bible differentiates Christianity. The cross of Christ forever bridged the gap between sinners and a Holy God. The Bible, rightly called the book that made our world, has inspired the best of Western civilization: science, technology, education, and political and economic freedom. Because we are made in […]
No. An atheist doesn’t believe in the existence of God and generally dismisses the supernatural. By contrast, an agnostic is one who does not know if God exists and believes that some things, God, for example, are unknowable. Since both of these terms regularly come up in news and literature, on TV and the Internet, […]
Christians understand that God exists in three personal forms. These three, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, are collectively called The Trinity. While all part of the Godhead, each is distinct but is in a loving communion with each other. The third person of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit, is described as a counselor and a […]

A careful reading of the Bible will help you see that God, as written about in the Old Testament is no different from God as described in the New. All of the attributes of God shine forth from all 66 books of the Bible. From the very beginning, God shows his love for his creation […]
There is a body of scholarly evidence that proves that a man named Jesus walked the earth, had many followers and was crucified. Christians believe that after being pronounced dead and buried for three days, Jesus arose from the dead. There is powerful, scholarly evidence that he was witnessed by hundreds, including his disciples, over […]
It’s a good question. God could eliminate Satan anytime and plans to do so on his timetable. Until then, we will all struggle and endure Satan’s schemes. As humans, it is our desire to have the one who leads us to temptation removed so we no longer sin or are tempted. However, Satan is not […]
If the vastness of the universe, the beauty of the world and the innocent touch of a baby are creations, there must be a creator. The evidence of God is present everywhere around us.
