The Significance Of The Small Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 26, 2021

To an infinite God everything is small, and He seems to favor the small even from the human perspective. The small is the foundation for both His physical creation and His spiritual kingdom.

You and I are conditioned to look for big things like New York, London, or Paris, but God with His infinite sense of humor often has His eye on hick towns like Bethlehem or Bridges Creek, ...read more

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Mar 15, 2025

Islam is the second-largest religion in the world after Christianity. It claims to be a monotheistic belief system that worships one god, Allah.

It is because the name ‘Allah’ translates as ‘god,' that many Christians who live in the Middle East incorrectly use the word “Allah” when referencing the God of Abraham, ...read more

Adam’s sin led to condemnation of the entire human race because his sinful nature was passed on to all of his descendants. Christ overcame that condemnation. As a result, ...read more
