Matthew 27:50 "And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit." We make light of the death Jesus died. We put it in children's story books and cartoons. We skip the crucifixion and go straight to the resurrection. Why? Because no one wants to talk about death. It's too … Continue reading Did Jesus Really Die?
How do I talk to my non-christians about salvation? This is something I've been thinking about quite a lot lately. Relatively often, I'll meet other people around my age at Church or other ministrys that don't know the gospel. It's a common misconception among a lot of Christians that everyone must know about Jesus. For … Continue reading How To Talk To Non Christian Friends About The Gospel
We live in a society that complains about almost everything. We complain about politics, when our food is cold... you get the idea. Think about just how many times a day you "forget" to be thankful. We take advantage of the daily luxuries we're blessed with, just because we're used to them. You may be … Continue reading Real Thankfulness: The Biblical View Of Gratitude
A lot of us living in this up beat, political, technical world think of "idolatry" as a thing of the past. But is it?

Can I "Lose" My Salvation? This is a big question going around in modern culture. After we are saved can we lose our place in heaven? Can a salvation we once had just disappear? First of all, what is salvation? You find salvation in believing that God sent his only Son, Jesus Christ, to die … Continue reading Can A Christian Lose Their Salvation?
We still struggle with a lot of the same problems people struggled with during the time of Jesus’ earthly ministry. Granted, no one ever freaked out because their phone was on five percent. Still, just because that was two thousand years ago, doesn’t mean we now live in an alternate world. We’ve all seen the … Continue reading A Young Christian’s Views On The Struggles Of Gen Z
As a Christian, you will have the opportunity to share the word of God and to minister to others.

But do this with gentleness and … Continue reading Always Be Prepared: You’ll Have An Opportunity
What is “real repentance”? The word “repent” literally means to turn around and go the other way. When we hurt someone, it’s all too easy to just say “I’m sorry” and forget about it. It’s so easy to snap at a friend and then walk by like nothing happened. None of us can fully uphold … Continue reading Real Repentance: More Than Just “I’m Sorry”

He forgives us every sin we have ever committed and ever will commit . He loves us like we don’t deserve. He watches over us and protects us. He … Continue reading The Unconditional Love of God
