What The Bible Teaches About Gambling

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Oct 28, 2021

The purpose of this course is to make today’s Christians think about some of the things we are facing in our society as Christians. Christian people should be “thinking” people when it comes to the issues we face in our society.

Through the ages of time, God’s people have had to face difficult situations in ...read more

The Power Of Awe Series

Contributed by Scott Turansky on Oct 9, 2022

Whereas some of us who've been Christians for a long time, we kind of get used to the holy things. Sometimes we take the holy things for granted.
