You finally reach a real person, and before you can give your name or state your reason for calling you are quickly asked, "Hold, please!" In addition to that, many of these modern day time saving devices does not ...read more

I believe that the Bible teaches that Christianity is not about following a ...read more

    The Ethiopian Eunuch didn’t understand the Bible until someone explained it to him. The whole Bible points to Jesus’ life death and resurrection.

    In a few minutes we’ll say the creed, as we do most weeks, and we’ll repeat these words almost without thinking: "For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again - in accordance with the Scriptures." I wonder whether we ever stop ...read more
