    Though freedom is often regarded as throwing off the restraints of religion, true freedom comes from obeying the scriptures.

     | 3,452 views

    It is not the food you eat or religious observation you practice that enables you to claim that you are right with God. Your attitude, behavior, and response to His commands show whether or not your life is defiled before Him.

    Worship is supposed to come from a grateful heart and mind, focused on how God's mercy and grace has taken us off of the road to hell and by the redemptive work of Jesus Christ on our behalf, placed us on the narrow road leading to eternal life. Our submission to Him as Lord and Savior, ...read more

    Lessons In Apologetics #6: Pantheism

     | 4,041 views

    As a worldview, Pantheism has plagued the religious thought of both the East and West from ancient times on up through our contemporary day.

    If Deism is the belief that God is so transcendent from the cosmos He created that He no longer participates directly in it, Pantheism must be the worldview at the other end of the continuum believing that a higher power exists as Pantheism holds that God is so immanent with the universe that God ...read more

    In our age of religious tolerance Jesus’ supposed intolerant message is still the truth. He is the way, the truth, and the life and the only way to the Father.

    During this season before Easter, which we call Lent, we have been looking at who the real Jesus is. Not who other people THINK Jesus is, but what Jesus actually said about himself according to an eye witness, his disciple John. Specifically, these are Jesus’ seven “I am” statements.

We like to make things easy, though, so we often condense our diversity down to the basic essentials and say that there ...read more
