The statement of faith to which we subscribe: We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible authoritative Word of God. We believe the Triune Godhead exists in One Eternal, Transcendent, Omnipotent, personal God, manifested in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The substitutionary and redemptive sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ […]

Why worry? Trust God.
Jesus taught us how to have perfect peace in the midst of stress and troubles. Don’t we all want perfect peace in our inner soul? If we worry and fret over many things – it is because we try to live focused on God AND …some other “master”. “You cannot serve God and wealth [m […]
Puny humans
…quotes about mere puny mud-men and women of clay – us. – From The Damning God “What God thinks. God has spoken to man – through the Bible. And He is the One that made it all happen. Doesn’t that sort of trump us all? Shouldn’t the Truths of God take precedence over whatever it is […]
Do what I say
“Why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?” – Luke 6:46
What God has going on with us here on this planet
What God Is Doing. There is a lot of confusion in the world — about what God has going on with us here on this planet. God wants us to spend eternity with Him. That is why He created us in the first place. Examine John 1, verses 1-5. John 1: verses 1-5 In the […]
On what do you base your beliefs?
Do you know why you believe what you believe? Do you know what is the basis for your beliefs about God? When I was a child, I had all kinds of “beliefs”. Much of what I “thought” — turned-out to be make-believe. Ephemeral. Like mist. Much of what people think – is so baseless, without […]
Cognitive Dissonance
Many believe in the historic general Napoleon, because of historical records — but confronted with even more and greater historical evidences, do not believe in the historic Jesus, God come down to earth as a man. What cognitive dissonance! Cognitive dissonance is that extreme feeling of discomfort some folks get when their core belief is […]
Limited Thinking
“…Don’t fool yourself by your limited thinking.“ – – 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 So, you are thinking? That’s a good thing! And those thoughts are – what? They are your thoughts? Have you been able to get past your own thinking – and think with God and His expressed thoughts? What are you thinking? Are you […]
Actually act on what you know
“…act upon the knowledge of faith….” – Francis Schaeffer in his book, True Spirituality. Quoted here by Andrée Seu Peterson in her World Magazine article (in 4th paragraph): The power of now …Call forth what’s yours with no double-mindedness. *Featured 2016 photo is Al-Basha, a Christian in Syria who acted on his beliefs – and […]
Was Graham right -or- Hawking?
Who was correct? Graham -or- Hawking? Billy said “I’ll be in heaven in the future life”, whereas Hawking postulated there is no afterlife, saying heaven “is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark.” “One thing’s for sure: Both of these men now know the truth of what happens after death.” – Robin O’Hare […]
What God Did for Man
…The Simple Gospel of Jesus Christ. God walked the earth as a man… Have you ever wondered how it all got started – the universe, the earth, nature, animals, you and your “like”, mankind? THE BEGINNING. Any belief system has to start with: the start. What is it!? What happened to get all-that-is …into existence? […]
I have faith
I have faith in God. Jesus replied, “Have faith in God [constantly]. – Mark 11:22 Faith is having a deep “[abiding trust in God and His promises].” (1 Corinthians 13:verse 12 (AMP)) Faith is “the assurance (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed).” (Hebrews 11:1) Faith is “an inherent trust and enduring confidence […]

What Matters
Who we are matters. What we say we believe, matters less. This is easy to understand. In a court of law, does it really matter (at all) that the killer says he did not do it, if the dead body is found with his DNA on it and three credible witnesses say they saw him […]
Irrational Beliefs
So, let me get this straight: You choose an irrational faith not supported by evidences – over a rational faith in Jesus who died on a cross to pay our punishment for sin? Where are your evidences for your “faith”? “It seems to me positively irrational to prefer death, futility, and destruction to life, meaningfulness, […]

I am sorry for your loss, Tom
Just wanted to express my condolences. I am so sorry for the recent loss of your wife, Tom. I can only imagine the loss, as I am close to your age and still married after forty two years together. What consoles me, throughout my life, is my faith that God cares about me, is actively […]
Be a little more Christian
These days it seems so few know what the Bible really says about being a Christian. Many think it does not matter what you think. They say: Follow whatever you prefer. Just call yourself Christian, and try to “be a little more Christian” every day: be nicer, kinder, less cranky, more tolerant, accepting of others. […]
Are you in, or, are you out?
Are you in, or, are you out? Are you on the inside, or outside? It’s a choice. Go one way or go another. “Choose for yourselves today whom you will serve.” (Joshua 24:15) For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who [a]are perishing, but to us who [b]are being saved it is […]
