I’m sharing part of a story about myself that 99.999% of you don’t know. On June 11th, 1994, in the early afternoon hours, I was standing on some steps overlooking a large tub of filthy water. The slimy, murky water was in the baptistry of a little church building...

Belief for the reason of one’s existence is a choice, at least for a while. As a Christian, I believe there is coming a time when we will all know who we are by learning why we are. However, at that moment, all will be past tense. In my estimation, it would be wise to...

I watched the preacher walk back and forth across the stage, yelling into the microphone. His eyes were ablaze and an eerie grin spanned his face. It was like watching a carnival sideshow. The experience made me uneasy, and I sat on the edge of my seat. My mind said...

I believe in the God of the Bible, and that “All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.” (1 Timothy 3:16) I believe in...

This passage from Holy Scripture is one that all believers should prayerfully meditate on, as its meaning is a profound command from the One who died for the sins of the world and saved those who have obeyed His Gospel, from the wrath of God to come. The words are...

Universalism has been gaining ground in American religion for years. It’s being fueled more today than ever before, and it’s speeding up at a breakneck pace. Universalism masquerades as Christianity, however, it’s far from the Word the God on many fronts. One is, it...

Recently, I was in a small group of people, and we were speaking about evangelism. We talked about some difficulties in reaching people today, mostly because everyone thinks they know it all. Sadly, many people that claim to be Christian rarely study scripture. Sure,...
