     | 2,415 views

    This is the first message in a series on Basic Christian doctrine, being an introductory look at what real Christianity is all about, starting with the central theme and purpose for the existence of God's Holy Word.

    I am convinced that the average "follower of Jesus Christ" does not have a clue as to what he or she believes concerning the authority and inspiration of Holy Scripture, the person and nature of God, the person, work, and Lordship of Jesus Christ, the work and mission of the Holy ...read more

    The Bible is like a flashlight that guides us through life. It helps us see clearly where we are, gives us a glimpse of what's to come, and reminds us of what God has done in the past.

    Let's check out Psalm 119, the longest chapter in the Bible. We're just gonna focus on one verse today. The dude who wrote this psalm is saying that God's Word is like a GPS for our lives.

    How Does God Communicate With Us?

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on May 3, 2021
     | 2,023 views

    I've found that God communicates in innumerable ways. Every time I notice one way that God communicates, he changes it up. A new method appears. It's fascinating actually. God is diverse, incredibly so.

    The divine designer, the architect, the crafter of the human soul is indeed present and interactive within the matrix of reality we call Earth. He is present, he is at work. Yet we cannot see him. Theologians call this the "hiddenness of God." But why is he hidden? Atheists might say ...read more
