Contributed by Bart Leger on Jul 27, 2007

Surrendering Credentials To Christ

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Mar 13, 2016

If we're not careful, we can get caught up in the world's system of polishing that pedigree. Rather, like the Apostle Paul, we need to surrender all to the great goal of knowing more intimately Christ our Lord. Everything else is secondary.

Complications Of The New Birth Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 20, 2021

In the spiritual realm it has always been possible to have babies after you are dead. The Apostle Paul gave birth to many new babies for the kingdom of God in his lifetime, but he has given birth to millions more after his death.

They can now freeze human embryos in liquid nitrogen at a temperature of 321 degrees below zero and keep them for up to 600 years, and then implant them in a woman, and she will have a baby. ...read more
