    What should Christians do with disruptive heretics in their midst?

    God easily overcomes educated, intelligent, so-called wisdom that denies Him: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.” … Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? (1 Corinthians 1:18-20 NIV) How powerful is our God? Who dares to ...read more

    Intellectuals And Yokes

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jun 15, 2016
     | 4,077 views

    There are many intellectuals who believe themselves to be beyond believing in "simple-minded" Christianity. Is the Gospel found in the Bible just a myth that needs to be reinvented, or, is it the Truth, the whole Truth and nothing but the Truth?

    Matthew 11:25-30 (Please look this up in your Bibles and follow along as I read today's Scripture) Now let's go back to Matthew 11:25-26 NIV “At that time Jesus said, ‘I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and ...read more

     | 4,751 views

    Jesus instructs us to have faith and believe, but how do we do that with our doubts?

    Today’s gospel reading is one of the best-known Eastertide gospels – that of ‘Doubting Thomas’. We almost never hear the name of this disciple without the label of ‘Doubting’. Most people, no matter how non-religious, have heard about ‘Doubting Thomas’. You may be interested to know that in the ...read more

    In confusing times of tragedy and loss like many Americans are facing at the present time, it is hard to make sense of it all. The Psalmist gives us encouragement to seek understanding and confidence in the "sanctuary" of God’s presence.

    The Source of My Hope Psalm 73 I heard on the news this past week that one of the outcomes of what has happened since the September 11th attack on America has been a rush on bookstores around the country. The sale of Bibles is up and that is good news. Alongside of this good news is the report that ...read more
