    Only 26% of the adult population believes that the Bible, the Word of God, is inspired, is infallible and is inerrant. These three aspects are vitally important in understanding the Bible.

    The Holy Bible was written over a fifteen-hundred year span, by forty different authors from every walk of life. It was written by kings, servants, fishermen, poets, doctors, herdsmen and even a tax collector. It was written on three different continents, Europe, Asia and Africa in sixteen ...read more

    what we eat is irrelevant-- but how our actions affect others in the body is not irrelevant.

    In our scriptures this morning, Paul moves now to a heated Corinthian dispute over an issue of doctrine. Should Christians eat meat from animals that have been offered first to pagan deities, and can they take part in a dinner party the host dedicates to a god or goddess? Doesn’t it seem peculiar, ...read more
