Fellow Christian, if someone were to ask you, “Is Jesus on your side?”  How would you respond?  This may be a particularly pertinent question if you are currently involved in some legal or family struggle in which your adversary is NOT a Christian, but the question is valid for all.  Is Jesus on your side, [...]

Once upon a time, back when I was a single man, I was invited to a party.  I went to the party with the hopes that maybe, just maybe, I would meet that “someone special.”  When I walked into the host’s house (a very large and beautiful place), I was immediately impressed by how many [...]

William Gurnall on Scripture vs. man’s reason: “Who but God could tell us who and what His nature is?  Natural reason has found that there is a God, and His power is taught in the school of nature.  But how do uneducated men learn the true knowledge of God when, profound philosophers continually grope like [...]

If this video at first just seems like the typical ramblings of a rebel (an atheist), keep watching!

I know Christmas is over and we bloggers should be moving on to posts regarding the coming new year, but I guess I am feeling the need to cast one more stone behind me.  My wife and I don’t do the “Santa Claus” thing with our kids and we have recently heard of several local [...]
