90 Days with Jesus: John Chapter 8: Jesus the Intolerant

Chapter 8 of John’s Gospel John chapter 8 is an incredible chapter. What’s more, what we learn about Jesus is that he was, actually, quite intolerant. As I see it, too few people want to actually listen to and read about the Jesus of the Scripture. The mantra going around nowadays is that Christians have…

90 Days with Jesus, Day 42: John 8:54-59: The Glory of Jesus

Atheists and Homosexuals are Recruiting!

Friends, I have been noting in some of these posts that there is an assault being mounted by the unrighteous of this world against Christ. But it’s more than a mere assault (which I’m certain Christ will withstand) and more like an evangelistic crusade. Atheists are doing it, consider this quote by Richard Dawkins which…

Mormonism and Christianity

I have not posted anything with respect to mormonism at this or my other blog. However, I came across this debate featuring Albert Mohler and Orson Card.

What to Look for in a Church?!

Friends, This following is from a website called davidfoster.tv. There are also comments on these points at http://www.alittleleaven.com and http://www.slideoflaodicea.com.
