Yahweh - The Unique God

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Feb 16, 2020

The Christian faith is different from any other religion in the world. This was true in the ancient near east and it is as true today as it was then. Being unique doesn't necessarily make something right. What is it that makes Yahweh the one true God and different from the rest?

Strength With No Power

Contributed by Caleb Sowers on Dec 29, 2018

Power. The world puts a lot of value into the word. For us power can mean many things; the amount of influence a person has or the amount of physical capability a person possesses. It can mean how much a vehicle can move or haul, or the ability to influence world politics. It can mean many things.

Some people are fans of boxing, although I will admit I am more of a fan of UFC then boxing. And for every person who is a fan of a certain sport, they also have favorite teams and players. ...read more
