A Christian Point Of View

Contributed by Dennis King on Jun 18, 2018

But how do we keep a 'right' point of view about Jesus and the Christmas Story in the face of so much that influences us otherwise?

Christian-Atheist Dialogue

Contributed by Coz Von on Jul 24, 2018

is it possible for Christians and atheists to have meaningful conversations?

Certain Salvation For Christians

Contributed by Dennis King on Jul 5, 2016

Psalm chapter 145 verse 14, “The Lord upholds all those who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down.” For salvation do we have to memorize the Bible? No! Must we obey all 613 Commandments of the Jewish Mitzvot or the 10 Commandments? No!

Are you uncertain about your salvation? Are you consumed with doubt, fear, anxiety or troubled emotions? Can you deny you've never thought of the afterlife in Heaven or Hell? People standing at the open edge of a grave oftentimes think of these things. Can you honestly say you're not fearful of ...read more
