    Should we question our faith? Lets start there. The short answer is YES we should and can question our faith. You can be sure that an unbelieving world will be right there pointing an accusatory finger at us saying prove it.

    Is it wrong to question our faith? Questions, we all have hundreds and thousands of questions. It is one of the ways we learn. The other day a co-worker asked me a really good question. The bible tells us we must be ready to answer such questions. 1Peter 3:15 15But in your hearts set apart ...read more

So they said, "Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.’’ 15. He said to them, "But who do you say ...read more

    Peter's responsibility was massive. Who would be allowed into this belief, who would find salvation? Our task is similar.
