I have never seen Duck Dynasty but am thankful for his courage and faithful words (though some were poorly chosen). We applaud those who speak up, but do we do we remain silent ourselves? Our culture is suffering from savor-less salt. The liberal agenda has co-opted "love" and distorted the...

We are still in the Twelve Days of Christmas leading to Epiphany. Let us be faithful to share the light in our dark world. Here is a wonderful video of Charles Surgeon's words. Immanuel-God with us - Charles Spurgeon...

When discussing evolution, we Christians need to be clear about the distinction between micro-evolution and macro-evolution. We can put stumbling blocks before others when we are not careful. We also ought to be clear that the Bible is silent on the age of the earth. Genealogies have nothing to...

The key point about this story that was hyped in the news is that it does not matter whether this fragment is a fraud or simply false teaching from past centuries. Christians should be knowledgeable enough about the doctrine of Christ to know that this is heresy. AND we should see it as a great...

When starting at the beginning, don't skip the first two verses of Genesis. We need to be clear about what the Bible does say and about what it does NOT say. And when we fill in the blanks of what it does not say, this is not the word of God but our human speculations...

My wife goes hysterical over spiders! The other day I was eating at my parents house and a big spider ran across the table. If my wife had been there we would have had to call the ambulance! This was an unusual event. I had just checked a hay baler before I came in and it probably traveled in...

Yes, parents, too, are in need of much training by the LORD: " You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk...
