  • Revival

    “Reformation is a return to the sound doctrine of the Bible. Revival is the practice of that sound doctrine under the power of the Holy Spirit.” Francis Schaeffer Friends, we can know…without a doubt…that the Holy Spirit, who helped the 40+ writers of the 66 books (written over 1600 years…

  • Don’t Neglect Meeting Together

    Remember this: Going to Church doesn’t help God (He doesn’t need anything), it helps you! Most of all— it helps others! Gathering with other believers at church provides an opportunity to be an encouragement to another brother and/or sister! You might not feel as if it’s possible to be an…

  • Investigating Truth Claims

    Investigating Truth Claims

    Seeking-out the #truth is searching for the facts (vs. blindly submitting to “the feels”). For example, we don’t walk across the street without looking both ways. Even if we don’t feel like it. Apathy in that moment would be irresponsible and reckless. Our lives literally depend upon choosing to investigate…

  • Whose Purposes?

    Whose Purposes?

    “The story is not so much about God’s wonderful plan for your life as much as it is about your life for God’s wonderful plan. God’s purposes are central, not ours.” Greg Koukl (The Story of Reality, p.44) When we read the historical records of the Israelite people, we witness…

  • Christianity: Not a New Worldview

    “Biblical faith isn’t a blind faith that operates without any reason to believe— rather, it looks at the evidence. In fact that is one of the reasons the apostles of Jesus recorded many of the miraculous signs performed by Jesus: ‘These [signs] are written down so that you may continue…

  • Is the “True Self” Biblical?

    Friends, it’s not unkind to test quotes and claims. It’s what we are supposed to do (Acts 17:11; 1 Thessalonians 5:21; 1 John 4:1-4). We just need to be gracious and respectful in the process of testing claims. By reading the original source documents and then putting those teachings alongside…

  • Enneagram: Examined Scientifically

    More pertaining to the scientific veracity of the Enneagram: According to an interview with Dr. Rhenn Cherry, a Biblical Counselor who wrote his PhD dissertation on the Enneagram, approximately 139 doctoral-level mental health professionals, with an average of 26 years experience, participated in a peer reviewed study in 2015 which…

  • Test It

    Ladies, did you realize that Satan, “The Father of Lies,” (John 8:44) is well-versed regarding scripture? He sure is! This is extremely important to understand! For quoting the Bible doesn’t necessarily equate to correctness nor to worshipping God. According to a recent 2022 poll by Arizona Christian University, only 37%…
