    What must a person do to go to heaven? The answer is quite obvious in the Bible. God has put a semi-truck load of verses there with the answer. Yet, few see God's semi-truck.

    What must a person do to go to heaven? The answer is quite obvious in the Bible. God has put a semi-truck load of verses there with the answer. Yet when I talk to pastors or go into churches, they do not mention God's semi-truck. Instead they exploit one or two verses to conjure up ...read more

    Unbelief is one of the greatest hinderances to the Christian life and in some capacity it is the root of nearly every sin - learn how to practically crush every aspect of unbelief in your life and ministry.

    Paul gives a revealing picture of the hardships of his ministry. Nine trials are listed here, and most can be found in the book of Acts. What stands out to me is how Paul writes with knowledge of how some perceive him because of the trails
