    Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Aug 13, 2020
     | 1,929 views

    John begins chapter two by addressing his readers as "my little children." "My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin."

    Review The Gnostics said they had no sin, blaming their sinful acts on their body. John was setting the record straight for his readers by presenting both bad news and good news. The bad news is that we do sin. The good news is that if we confess our sin God is faithful and righteous to ...read more

    The Existence And Presence Of Almighty God", Part 2

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 24, 2023
     | 1,050 views

    God's existence is obvious (Romans 1:18-20) through creation and our conscience. The evidence is there for anyone willing to take their blinders off, swallow their pride, and humble themselves.

    The world cannot comprehend the idea of a precise, preconceived, set, rational, and personal creation of a God who is outside of space, time, and matter, and able to put everything into existence for a reason. They wish to stay blind to the obvious and shut their ears to the truth that we are ...read more

    Inside Out Christianity

    Contributed by Dwight Davis on May 17, 2024
     | 1,772 views

    So often, we Christians--like everyone else get caught up on the outward appearance of our physical bodies, our homes, our cars and our families. Even more dangerous than focusing on the "appearance" of these things, we quite often focus on the appearance of our Christianity.

    Have you ever met someone for the first time, and you were immediately struck by how nice-looking that person was? But after spending some time with them, all of a sudden, they didn’t look that good anymore? Not that their makeup got smeared or their toupee blew off; but once you talked to them and ...read more

    The word Trinity doesn’t appear as a theological term till near the end of the second century. “It was first used as ‘Trias’ by Theophilus, the Bishop of Antioch in AD. 180 and later by Tertullian asTrinitas to signify that God exists in three persons.”

    ARTICLE 2. In one God eternally existing in three persons; namely, the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Crucial, to the biblical doctrine of God is his Trinitarian nature. Trinity is a term that is not found in the Bible but a word used to describe what is apparent about God in the ...read more
