    Not As Easy (Or Hard) As It Looks

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Aug 23, 2025
     | 157 views

    Being a Christian isn’t as easy as we think—our best efforts fall short before a holy God. But it’s not as hard as it looks either, because Christ has already done the impossible for us, giving us His Spirit and His strength to live as His people.

    GOOD MORNING. There were definitely times that I thought that being a pastor would make it easier to be a Christian. I realized how foolish that was even before going to seminary watching some rather famous pastors fall very publicly to temptation in the 80’ and 90’s. And this isn’t about beating ...read more

    The Limits Of Tolerance

    Contributed by Scott Maze on May 24, 2021
     | 4,068 views

    There’s been a shift in American thought over the past several decades. America historically stood for the right to express any opinion. Where we used to believe that you should tolerate my views even when they were false but now, we believe it is wrong to call anybody’s views’ false.

    Find the book of Jude with me. There are books in your Bible and there are letters in your Bible, but you could probably think of Jude more like a postcard. There’s been a shift in American thought over the past several decades. America historically stood for the right to express any opinion. ...read more
