The rain pounded, thunder roared, and lightning tore jagged scars across the sky. Men, women, and children clawed frantically at Noah's ark, now sealed shut, desperate to get in and escape the rising floodwaters. Etched into the side of the ark was a giant smiley face with the words "God loves you" below it. This is a grim picture of modern-day evangelism. It's akin to if Noah, as he faithfully built the ark, sought to evangelize by carving a giant smiley face on its side, wi

My twin and I celebrated another trip around the sun and for my birthday, I chose to visit a cemetery. Not exactly your typical birthday getaway, I know, but it was something I had set my mind to do for my birthday this year. Here are a few thoughts from that experience: 1) Death is certain - As I walked into the cemetery, I couldn't help but notice the thousands of tightly packed graves stretching almost from the gate. They served as solemn reminder of how fleeting life is

Sadly, we live in a time where God is more misrepresented than well-represented. There are two common ways God is misrepresented. On one hand, there are those who plainly slander His character, while on the other hand, there are those who, in their efforts to defend Him, either narrow, distort, or exaggerate His character.

When Adam and Eve fell in the garden of Eden, God mete out sentences for each party involved. In Eve’s case, God mete out 4 sentences, but for the sake of this post, we are focusing on just one. In Genesis 3:16. The Bible says: “To the woman He said: “I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception; In pain you shall bring forth children; Your desire shall be for your husband, And he shall rule over you.” Now at first glance, a woman desiring her husband doesn’t seem

It's no secret that we live in a world that is out to discredit the Bible in more ways than one, and it's no longer subtle about it. The goal is to try to neutralize its ability to call sinners to repentance, renew the Believer's mind, and ultimately transform lives. As a true believer of Christ, you must not fall for the devil's deception.   We must guard ourselves by ensuring we always think well of the Bible.  Failure to do this will negate your faith and ultimately counte
