This is a common question that many wrestle with when it comes to their church. It may be a question you have thought of yourself or are even currently contemplating. Should I stay with my current local church or leave and try to find a new body to be a part of? If you are [...]

You see it all the time on social media. Before and after pictures of people who changed their eating habits and committed to a training program. They lose weight. They look and feel healthier. It's almost a brand new person. Well the Bible explains that there are before and after portraits of those whose lives [...]

"I love going to a church that has many programs. Children's programs. Youth programs. Music programs." This is the common statement made by many who are looking for a church. To them it's all about programs. The more, the better. After all, the world offers so many programs, so in order to compete with what [...]

To claim to be a Christian, saved by God's grace and by the power of Gospel of Jesus Christ, and not to belong to a local body of believers, is to claim that you are committed to the Head but not to the Body. “I don’t think the New Testament knows anything about a Christian that doesn’t belong [...]

Well, what else do you expect from a ministry whose tag line is always biblical, always controversial, always in that order. The equality of women with men has nothing to do [...]

It was one of the most celebrated times in the Jewish calendar. It was the Passover(See Exodus 12:1-13). Jews would all gather together in Jerusalem to celebrate this feast. Now on one of these occasions Jesus appears on the scene. And what does he do? Miraculous signs. The beloved disciple states very clearly the purpose [...]

True or False? God's sovereign rule over nations is dependent upon the leaders of those nations submitting to His authority. If you answered true, then you have a low view of God. The God who commanded the universe into existence(Psalm 33:6-9) and who sustains the universe(Colossians 1:16-17; Hebrews 1:2-3) does not depend on the leaders of [...]
