Signs

Contributed by Bill Stonebraker on Jan 18, 2022

A drunken coal miner came to Christ & went stone cold sober. He began telling all his friends about his freedom in Christ & the evils of alcohol. One friend decided to trap him. “Do you really believe Jesus turned water into wine?” “Absolutely!” he replied. “For me, He’s turned wine into a ...read more

Specks & Planks

Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 1, 2023

Contributed by Frederick Meekins on Jan 29, 2020

The Cultural Impact Of Worldview & Apologetics
