    Don’t let the things of this life keep you from the Lord.

    No More Excuses (Luke 14:16-24) But He said to him, “A man was giving a big dinner, and he invited many; and at the dinner hour he sent his slave to say to those who had been invited, ‘Come; for everything is ready now.’ “But they all alike began to make excuses.

    Is There A Conflict Between Faith And Science? Series

    Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Apr 28, 2002
    based on 141 ratings
     | 12,021 views

    Those seeking truth should consider: 1. Christian faith birthed science. 2. Miracles are not things done against natural law, but according to natural law. 3. To close the door to the possibility of the existence of God goes against the very fabric

    How do you explain miracles to a scientist? How do you explain science to a Christian? Can it be done, and is there a conflict between the two? How do we use objective critical reasoning and still believe in things like the parting of the Red Sea, a virgin giving birth to a child, shriveled ...read more

    Christians need integrity in these important areas: Money, Sex, Power.

    The news has been rife with stories of the lack of integrity in our culture. First it was the Enron scandal and the accounting firm of Arthur Anderson. Then it was WorldCom.
