One World, Under God. Really?

The question is… But which one? For those who still believe He exists at all, there seems to be a growing consensus that He simply goes by many names, but all religions are worshiping the same Person. Erase the lines between us and let’s find our common ground. Jump into the circle and we will [...]

Christians Are Fools

1. If you believe the Bible to be the perfect Word of God, free from error, completely true, absolutely living and able to transform lives, you are a fool. If you believe the Bible to be just an ordinary book with a lot of black and red writing, old stories about dead people and whales, [...]

“Slave” By John MacArthur – Book Recommendation

Part 3 – Wrapping Up With The Chain-Breaker

Folks, I just want to say here and now that this blog is a prime example of what it means to know and love the living Savior, Jesus Christ. That it’s NOT some dream-like fantasy or fairy tale! He is not a myth, He is not a legend, and He is not a “made up” [...]
