Contributed by William Meakin on Feb 28, 2021

We probably are all aware that the Ten Commandments were originally delineated to the Prophet Moses on Mount Sinai...

Pope Francis once remarked: “We must not see the Ten Commandments as limitations to liberty. No, they are not this, but we must see them as indications for liberty. They are not limitations but indications for liberty! They teach us to avoid the slavery to which the many idols reduce us that we ...read more

What The Bible Teaches About Cloning

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Oct 28, 2021

The purpose of this course is to make today’s Christian think about some of the things we are facing in our society as Christians. Christian people should be “thinking” people when it comes to the issues we face in our society.

For example, as Christians: • We can not allow others to do our thinking for us when it comes to deciding what is RIGHT and what is WRONG. • We can not just ignore these issues we face and hope they will go away. Through the ages of time, God’s people have had to face difficult situations in ...read more

Pelagianism – Works Versus The Gospel Of Grace

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Oct 29, 2019

There are many within Christianity who may unknowingly deny God’s free and eternal gift of salvation by requiring a well-meaning, but a misdirected emphasis on adhering to the Law.

There is a belief, known as Pelagianism, that has lingered in the church for over 1600 years, which does not accept that the sinful condition of humankind was inherited from Adam and Eve in the Fall (Genesis 3). It is the belief that motivated the ministry of Charles Finney, who is known as the ...read more

The Existence And Presence Of Almighty God", Part 3

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 27, 2023

One of the major arguments (proofs) for the existence of God is based upon moral standards, defined as the concept of right and wrong, good and evil, ethics and emotions that are in our consciences and have guided civilizations throughout history.

The job of a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ is not only share the Gospel, but also to make all non-believers uncomfortable in their assumptions. As mentioned in a previous sermon, uncomfortable atheists and skeptics use what they consider to be a sure-fire weapon guaranteed to confound and ...read more
