You Are A Slave The Question Is To Whom

Contributed by J Jeffrey Smead on Jul 4, 2017

The Scriptures are clear: We are either a slave to sin or we are a slave to righteousness. The opposite of rejecting God is not a freedom to be in charge of your own life. If you are not a slave to Righteousness you are a slave to SIN!

John's World

Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Jun 15, 2015

Was John only the apostle of love, or also the prophet of judgment? Was he "free will" as in John 3:16, or "predestination" as in John 6:37. To ask these things about him is really to ask them about the One he quoted. Jesus does not fit into our boxes...

John’s World… Did John contradict John in regards to the doctrines of grace? Whose side was he on, after all? It wasn’t just Paul! There’s a real opposition in the evangelical church to what they call “Calvinism”, but what Spurgeon called “Bible.” ...read more

Sweet Temptation Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Oct 23, 2022

Why Does God Allow Suffering!

Contributed by Jenny Franklin on Dec 21, 2022

Satan isn’t omnipotent. He can only do what God allows. So why does God allow Satan to continue to roam the earth seeking whom he can devour? Why does God delay judgment of the wicked while we suffer?
