Over the past few weeks I've talked about hard truths and sin, about separation from the world, and even the reality of Hell. All of which are related to punishment and the nature of God's wrath. And because God is so multifaceted - there are so many aspects and characteristics that make up our limited understanding...
Recently a School Board in North Dakota voted to stop reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. Their vice president said, "The statement that we are 'one nation under God,'...is simply an untrue statement. We are one nation under many or no gods..." "...the text is clearly referring to the Judeo-Christian God, and therefore, it does not include any...
Over the last several years, I'm guessing most of us have become way more familiar with viruses and how they work than we ever wanted. But, for those who've not been paying attention - a virus is a small infectious 'agent' that replicates inside the living cells of other organisms. And a virus is drastically different...

He was sentenced to 15 life sentences. While in prison, a man reached out and sent him a Bible study. He was then introduced to a local minister, ...
Imagine two hundred years ago, someone wrote a book titled, "How to Survive in Everyday America." - And then each decade or so it was updated a little to reflect any necessary information. And then comes 2020 - and the whole book gets tossed out. And in these years since, we find ourselves regularly arguing about stuff that had been accepted ...
