We had commented that he didn’t like change; he could easily be "all shook up" when something didn’t go his way. I asked the other person in this conversation, "How long have you known John? Has he ...read more

Committed To Conversion

Contributed by Daniel Austin on Apr 10, 2010

In the New Testament, the “meaning” of baptism is two-fold: it is a burial to old life and resurrection new! Understanding the second part is no less important than understanding that baptism is for the remission of sins.

The sun is but a morning star.” Luke 1:78-79 reminds us: “Because of the tender mercy of our God, whereby the sunrise shall visit us from on ...read more

If lying was a sport, it would be the most popular sport on earth today. Politicians have the reputation ...read more
