    You Gotta Serve Somebody

    Contributed by David Owens on Sep 9, 2019
     | 4,338 views

    When we become Christians, we are set free from our bondage to sin, but we must then strive to be slaves of righteousness. Everyone either serves sin or God. You gotta serve somebody!

    What Is Truth?

    Contributed by Walter Thomas on Nov 26, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,817 views

    There are so many truth claims bombarding Believers today. What is a saint to do? Pilot had Jesus on trial, but Jesus said truth was on trial. Pilot asked, "What is truth?" Not much has changed since that John 18:37 episode.

    WHAT IS TRUTH? Dr. Walter Thomas I define truth as whatever God says and whatever God knows. God is the source of all truth. The Omniscient One is the Repository of all truth and the Arbiter of all truth claims. Everything else is merely a truth-claim at best, waiting to see if it agrees with what ...read more

     | 17,470 views

    The story of the Tower of Babel is a sad description of the breakdown of fellowship, of failure in communication, growing isolation and confusion. It all results from human beings failing to live in dependence on God, becoming proud of their achievements.
