    Many Christians suffer from the disorder of two personalities - we want to follow Christ but we aren't willing to pay the price

    What does our church believe about marriage?

    Our church says: “We define marriage as a life covenant between one man and one woman according to the Scripture.” We have talked about the nature of marriage as we looked to verses 3-6. Next, we considered what Jesus said about the difficulty of marriage and about divorce in verses 7-10. Now, ...read more

    It is interesting to poll the crowd to see what others think of Jesus (Yeshua). What matters, though is what YOU think of him. Understanding Jesus (Yeshua) impacts the actions of our lives.

    1. St. John’s University is apparently known for being a theological school where intellectualism is highly regarded. Someone wrote the following graffiti on one of the walls there: Jesus said unto them: “Who do you say that I am?” And they replied: “You are the ...read more
