We’re all thankful for something, but more often discontent with our day-to-day lives. Many of us take for granted so much about our lives and the world around us that we don’t stop and think about the source of all that we have, nor do we stop and thank that source, God. Americans buy stuff […]
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 […]

Jesus said: “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.” When taken out of context, this answer that Jesus gave to a Canaanite woman makes it appear that the mission of Jesus was to the Jews alone. When read in the context of the story related by both Matthew and Mark, the opposite […]
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 […]
Have you ever wondered where God lives? It’s a big question, and the answer is both simple and incredibly deep. The Bible tells a beautiful story of how God has always wanted to be close to people—from walking with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden to living inside believers today through the Holy […]
Purgatory is a false teaching that says that after people die, they get a second chance to go to heaven. Supposedly, after death, a person enters a state of limbo between heaven and hell, where a purging takes place and that there are things a person can do, or that others can do for him, […]
