No one wants to live in a lie, however, as a believing being, many men live with corrupt beliefs that influence their thoughts and actions.

Contributed by Paul Barreca on Sep 11, 2011

This sermon dispells that idea that the Bible and Science are incompatable by demonstrating that tha bias of evolutionists against God has corrupted their discoveries.

Jesus And The Temple

Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Mar 13, 2018

Why did Jesus lose His temper in the Temple when He saw the traders and money changers there? The context explains everything - they were on the take! Jesus was a danger to their profits and had to go.

The temple John 2:13-25 The reading we have just heard from John's gospel might seem rather strange especially as it is at the start of his gospel; but ironically the synoptic gospels have this incident in the temple at the start of His last week just after His triumphant entry into Jerusalem - ...read more
