In this era of political correctness and so-called religious tolerance we are led to believe that all religions lead to God and we often hear it said, “we are all children of God.” Unfortunately, this is not true. It is completely correct to say “we are all loved by God”. God “created us in His […]
Whether you believe it or not, your sin has condemned you to an eternal life separated from God. Whenever men and women turn their backs on God, evil fills the vacuum with hate, misery, pain, suffering, and alienation, supplanting love, joy, happiness, and belonging. Therefore, a wise person would recognize the importance of redemption. Redemption […]
Tolerance once meant a free and open discussion in search for the truth. Modern science is based on searching for the truth. Tolerance used to be a respectful discourse open to “all points of view”.

This question is frequently asked question, especially by those interested in Scripture prophecy and perhaps troubled by terrorism and chaos in the world today. Jesus’ disciples were curious, as well. They came to Jesus privately when He was sitting on the Mount of Olives outside of Jerusalem. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, […]

In the name of social justice, some modern scholars say that stealing is okay if it is addressing a social inequity. After all, they contend, people who have gotten “ahead” in this world did so by taking advantage of others. But that is not what God says. Four thousand years ago, God carved in stone […]
Many people will answer that adultery is unfaithfulness to your spouse. However, the seventh commandment, “You shall not commit adultery” (Exodus 20:14), is so much more than a prohibition against marital infidelity—it is a divine call to faithfulness, integrity, and covenantal loyalty.

So what transformed 11 scared and dejected disciples into fearless ambassadors? It was Jesus’ return from the dead and subsequent ascension into heaven.
