    Faith is so central to our salvation that there are those who believe believing is the ONLY thing we need to do to be saved. But is that true, and where did that idea come from?

    In my files I have a comment of an economics professor who explained his problem with Jesus. He said, “I really don’t see how Jesus can be the only way to heaven. I definitely believe in God, but there are just too many people in the world who don’t believe in Jesus for me to think that God ...read more

    Single Vs Married Series

    Contributed by D Marion Clark on Sep 18, 2023
     | 1,087 views

    How content are you in your circumstance? Are you single wishing to be married? Are you married wishing you were single? Where you are right now is the circumstance that the Lord has you in. The real question is not so much about your contentment but in making use of your circumstance to serve him.

    1 Corinthians 7:32-40 Single vs. Married 11/2/03 D. Marion Clark Introduction I’ve almost made it! I’ve waded through the swampy water of chapter 7 and the dry bank is before me. Just one more slippery step to take, one more dangerous issue. Which is better: to be single or to be married? ...read more

    Making Jesus Real

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Sep 27, 2023
     | 1,085 views

    The Love of God was put on display for all the world to see. Those who believed became the personal recipients of that love. As His family we want continue to make the love of Jesus obvious to others, through our words and our actions, we cannot divorce one from the other.

    We took this summer to discuss many different philosophical as well as biblical arguments that point to God’s existence. Yet amongst all the arguments, I believe one of the greatest testimonies for the existence of a personal God is His love (1 John 4:8). Love is at the core of the Christian faith ...read more

    Some Thoughts On Depopulation

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Nov 23, 2024
     | 385 views

    The world's current population is somewhere between 7 and 8 billion. Some think that's too many and have openly advocated for depopulation measures. All they need to do is wait for the Great Tribulation and they'll come close to getting their wish!

    Introduction: A number of people, mostly elites, and increasingly calling out for more people to die! The justification, if I understand it correctly, is that there are too many people on this planet to be kept (the “sustainability” argument) and/or there isn’t enough of the right _kind_ of people. ...read more
