    Beyond A Reasonable Doubt

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Aug 19, 2023
     | 1,775 views

    At first the disciples doubted. But when faced with the evidence, they weighed it, tested it, and then acted upon it. Their verdict has stood the test of time. And the grounds on which they stood are the same grounds upon which we can stand.

    Why do you suppose is it that, faced with the same data, some people interpret it one way and some people interpret it another? You have only to look at the George Floyd riots – and the other ones later that year - to know that. Not even exhaustive investigations convince people whose minds are ...read more

    God is looking for a people who will build an altar of worship. It is that concept that some captured my attention. In particular the place that the altar plays in Old Testament worship, and it’s accompanying challenge to you and I.
