According to surveys 78% of Americans are Christians but only 9% of Americans read the bible every day. Perhaps this is because one must go beyond reading the bible merely for the sake of reading the bible; we must truly consume the bible.

Many of us have a hard time talking with others about our faith. Jesus gives us a good example.

Wolves have entered the church and Paul writes to correct the errors that they're promoting

The Identity Of Faith Series

Contributed by Greg Powell on Aug 19, 2020

There is an identity crisis in our country. I believe that our racial problems are a result of an unbiblical view of our identity. This passage has long been used to rebuke a racist and bigoted view of the gospel.

The Fear Of God Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 9, 2021

The word fear in relation to God can mean very opposite things. There is a fear of God which is terror at his might and wrath, and there is a fear of God which is reverence, or worship. There is still another which is knowledge and wisdom of God.

We live in a world where words are weapons. Someone said, "Words are weapons and we must wield them well if we would win." Much of the success of cons and cults is the direct result of their clever use of words. So many arguments are often based on a perverted manipulation of words, but ...read more

Contributed by Coz Von on Apr 16, 2016

Hell is a very real place and very scary, but also ad comforting message of grace for the unjust, How do we solve the problem of all of those contradicting verses - WE CAN, LOOK AND SEE!
