    Understanding the Lex Talionis (Law of Retaliation).

    “Retaliation Vs. Grace” Matthew 5:38-42 As most of you know, I am very fond of the area of faith referred to as apologetics. Apologetics comes from the word “apologia” and it means to “give a defense” for a position or an action. The english word ...read more

    Rearview Mirror Faith: Remember Lot’s Wife

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 13, 2025
     | 421 views

    A divided heart can’t follow Jesus forward; revival begins when we release the past and choose full surrender to the future God offers.

    Every vehicle on the road has a rearview mirror. It’s necessary. It’s helpful. It tells you where you’ve been. But no one drives safely by staring into it. The moment the rearview mirror becomes your primary guide, disaster is only a matter of time. And that’s exactly the danger Jesus is warning ...read more

    With the bold promises of science and technology will we still believe that Jesus Christ alone holds the power of resurrection.

    Through a parable about a "rich fool" Jesus gave a sharp warning about the love of money. Greed leads to a false view of life. Greed leads to a fool’s death.

    “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.” (1 Timothy 6:10) That passage from the Apostle Paul’s first letter to Timothy is well known. It seems that many people who know little else about the Bible can quote that particular passage. Perhaps it is familiar and frequently quoted ...read more
