Don’t Check Your Brain At The Door!

Contributed by John Gaston on Sep 15, 2019

Christian faith is more rational than atheism because it recognizes the minute information we possess and the insuperable complexity and design of the universe and life forms. We rest our intellect on the intellect of God. What could be wiser?

It Is Time To Repair All The Broken Altars In Your Life

Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Mar 9, 2020

I continue messages on our trip to Israel. Last time we looked at Jeremiah who suffered for preaching the Word. Today the Hebrews crossed the Jordan and erected an altar in Gilgal about 3 miles from Jericho. Elijah did the same at Mt. Carmel where we visited. What makes an altar important?

The Contemporary Christ Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 29, 2021

If Jesus was still in the tomb, and not a living contemporary, then however, great a man and teacher He was, He is of no more value to us than any other dead man. Any religion will do if the best only gets you to the grave.
