Many who put their faith in science and history believe that Christians have a non-scientific worldview. However, Christians also believe in science but they realize that science is not infallible. Men of science make mistakes, reports of scientific discoveries may be distorted to affirm a point of view in opposition to biblical understanding. However, true […]
When a person decides to enter into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ he or she receives the gift of the Holy Spirit. This is a new life that one finds only in Jesus. In other words, a person is ‘born again’ and becomes a new creation in Christ. The Bible clearly states in Galatians […]
The answer is yes. In the beginning, Adam walked and talked and fellowshipped with God every day. That was how God intended life to be for every person ever born: to actually know God personally. Unfortunately, Adam sinned when he disobeyed God’s only rule. Sin then separated man from God. The “good news” is that […]
Halloween is the antithesis of Christianity. It is rooted in ancient pagan festivals like Samhain that marks the end of the harvest and the beginning of the dark season of winter. During this Celtic celebration, gods are believed to become visible and play dangerous tricks on humans stoking fear and unleashing demonic activity. These practices […]
Yes, and No. While Jesus commanded his followers to go and make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19), he taught and demonstrated that it is God, not Christians, who does the converting.

The better question may be: “Can I ever out-give God?” Imagine what your community, our nation, the world, for that matter, might look like if every Christian were to give 10% or more of their income to the work of God…not the average of 3% it gives now. Tithing was instituted in God’s law as […]
As Labor Day approaches, most Americans prepare for a long weekend of rest, barbecues, and back-to-school sales. But beneath the surface of this secular celebration lies a profound question: Should Labor Day be a religious holiday? Could it be more than a civic nod to workers—perhaps a sacred moment to reflect on the divine dignity […]
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. — Matthew 5:10 When we think of blessings, we tend to imagine peace, comfort, and abundance. But Jesus’ teaching in the Beatitudes flips that idea completely upside down. He shows us that true blessing often comes in the midst of […]
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.” Matthew 5:9 In his Sermon on the Mount, Jesus pronounced a series of blessing statements known as the beatitudes. The seventh of these seems straightforward, but leaves us asking the question, what, exactly, is a peacemaker? A peacemaker is not just someone who […]
“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.” — Matthew 5:8 This beatitude is one of the most profound and mysterious promises Jesus offers. It raises deep theological and existential questions: Is a pure heart even possible? Is purity the only way to see God? And what does it mean to “see” […]
