Ladies, did you know that Jesus was mentioned outside of the Bible by Greco-Roman, Syrian, and Jewish (Non-Christian, possibly “hostile”) sources? It’s true!

It’s my prayer that learning about God’s immutability (unchanging nature) will encourage you immensely! Friend, while you and I change throughout our lifetime here, God (God, the Father; God, the Son; and God the Holy Spirit) does not! Both His character and His promises hold true and are faithful! Come near to me and hear…

Who is Jesus? Is Jesus merely a highly evolved man who achieved enlightenment and therefore showed us the way to Christ (as the New Age Movement purports)? Or, is He who He claimed to be…the Messiah and the only Son of God? “I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that…

Friends, this post contains both scripture and videos regarding the value of life as given by God…both in the womb and outside of the womb.

As Sunday rapidly approaches, please consider examining the claims Jesus made about Himself. Friends, if His resurrection didn’t happen, Christianity isn’t a viable worldview…it would be futile and misleading. Christianity’s existence hinges entirely on Jesus’s resurrection. (1 Corinthians 15) As you research, you will find approximately 130 attestations, both Christian and non-Christian (Greco-Roman, Syrian, and…
