Every Tongue Shall Confess

Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Feb 6, 2022

Our "confession" is an act of open commitment made to God in the presence of the world, by which we bind ourselves in loyalty to Jesus Christ. The New Testament teaches four important things to know about one's confession.

Our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is called ...read more

The Rejected God

Contributed by Hans Krause on Oct 22, 2018

We can call ourselves Christians, go to church, give our tithes, etc. and yet have rejected God effectively. The picture Jeremiah gives of life in Judah comes close to life in the Christian West, with several gods competing for our loyalty.
