What Are You Seeking?

Can The Foundations Of America Be Restored? Only Through A Revival Of The Young

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Jun 24, 2023

Christianity is the underpinning of western civilization, and as we jettison it for entertainment, nihilism, pleasure, and post-modernism, we unsurprisingly see a society tipping into chaos

The Divine Creation

Contributed by Kevin Burden on Nov 6, 2007

One of the most astonishing things that God has done is – He has created the universe! And there are two questions that I want to try to answer: 1. Does God take pleasure in his creation? 2. If so, “why?

Did Judas Do Any Good? Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 5, 2023

Judas got nothing good–not pleasure or honor or power. He ended up being the only person in the Bible whom God judged as being better off never being born.

Then, seeing Jesus condemned to death, he changes his mind and attempts to return the money to the ...read more
