Paul's Sermon At Athens: The Unknown God Made Known, Part 2

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 12, 2021

Paul told the Athenians that God is not limited in power or His will and plans nor distant from His creation. This went against everything the Greeks had believed about the gods and goddesses they worshipped but with whom they had no relationship.

In his message to the Athenian elders concerning the true and living God, Paul shows us the characteristics of spiritual leadership in his application of responsibility and accountability for what is not just a teaching on God but a strategic plan in the invisible war between Almighty God and ...read more

The Resurrection Of Jesus Christ: A Refresher Course In Evidence

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 10, 2023

The Scriptures tell of the event of the resurrection of Jesus Christ as being an undeniable historical fact with eyewitness and secondary evidence to back it that would be admissible in any objective court of law. This is no case of wishful thinking, but the conclusion of a promise kept.

If we were to present the case for the resurrection of Jesus Christ in a court of law, we would have to first refute the notion or belief that this was nothing more than "faith" on the part of the apostles and all who have followed Him throughout history. I have pointed out in a recent ...read more

The Saviour Of The World Lay In A Manger Series

Contributed by Shine Thomas on Nov 30, 2023

What is a manger? A manger is not a cattle-shed, as is often mistakenly held. The manger refers to a feeding box for animals. So, Jesus was NOT born in a manger!

Born in a manger? Many Christians feel that the Christmas season has arrived when they hear traditional songs—such as ‘Away in a manger’. There are songs in hundreds of languages that mention the manger—as in the words of a well-known Hindi song, ‘Charni mein tune janam liya, Yeshu’ (Jesus, you ...read more

How Can We Escape Temptation?

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jun 17, 2024

In a culture that is filled with so much moral depravity, how do escape or how can we escape from what the world puts around us?
