Well I wonder if we Christians ...read more

The Waiting Room Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Nov 30, 2012

This final chapter of 2 Peter is probably where the idea of meeting Peter at the pearly gates comes from. And while that is cute, the one who will really be interviewing us is Jesus himself. I thought the interview with a typical Christian in the waiting

The End Of All Things Is Really At Hand

Contributed by James Snyder on Dec 31, 2012

As Christians, we need to be careful that we do not fall into the area of doctrinal contempt because of the false prophets.
