It is a reality that no one can avoid—death. Whether one exercises daily, eats healthy, gets plenty of rest, has access to the best health care, and is born with good genetics, the fact is that everyone eventually dies as a result of the fatal effect of sin on our world.
Death is one of man’s greatest fears, partly because the dying process can be drawn out and painful and partly because many people are […]

The United States Supreme Court made an historic 5-4 decision today, making same-sex so-called “marriage” legal across our entire land, in effect shaking its fist at God and His clearly revealed definition and design for marriage and setting in motion a new era where all who dissent will be marginalized and persecuted.
May God strengthen our hearts in Him and bring many to Himself through this sinful ruling….
It is popular to blame the social or economic problems in America on government policies, partisan politicians, a left-leaning media and entertainment industry, or a “failing educational system.”
But at its core, the pervasive immorality, violence, debt and dependency, racism, and other social ills are due to an ever-growing rejection of God and His Word. When people live for self instead of for God, there will be a breakdown in the the God-designed fundamental unit […]

19 Kids and Counting is a reality television show about the Duggar family, comprised of parents Jim Bob and Michelle and their ten sons and nine daughters (and some of their children’s spouses and grandchildren). It is the most viewed program on the cable television network, TLC, averaging 2.3 million viewers per new episode.
The family, with its outspoken conservative Christian values, has become a cultural fascination for not […]
One of the great accounts in Scripture is the exodus of the Jews from their slavery in Egypt to God’s promised land in Canaan.
Well-known biblical characters such as Jacob, Joseph, Moses, and Joshua, places like Mount Sinai, Goshen, and Kadesh Barnea, and events like the ten plagues, Passover, the parting of the Red Sea, and God’s giving of His Law are all part of the narrative that the Bible presents as historical fact.
But did you […]
By late June, the Supreme Court of the United States is expected to make a judgment on whether a state can refuse to license same-sex marriages and refuse to recognize same-sex marriage from other states.
If the court rules in favor of same-sex marriage, it is no overstatement to say that the freedoms and benefits of those who believe in biblical marriage will be placed in serious jeopardy.
Consider the response by Solicitor General Donald Verrilli when […]
Discerning Christians see all around them the evidence of a nation in moral decline: rampant divorce, high percentage of children born out of wedlock, extramarital sex (heterosexual and homosexual), the same-sex “marriage” revolution, along with a host of other symptoms of a society that has rejected God and His Word.
The question is, why are we where we are in America? While the above sin was certainly occurring in the 1950s, along with others such […]
The sovereignty of God could be defined as God’s rule or control over everything in the universe. In other words, God knows all and causes or allows everything that happens.
Wrapping our finite minds around that is hard enough, but now add that God has created us with the ability to make meaningful choices in a world over which He is sovereign…
It is our deepest conviction that God’s Word provides the true (and most reasonable) answers to the world’s most pressing questions.
The Bible speaks with clarity on age-old questions such as “How did the world begin?” and “Does God exist?” Scripture also addresses questions in the modern-day news relating to homosexuality, global warming, and other religions.
This doesn’t mean that Christians have to know everything fully, but rather that God has given us plenty of explanation […]
Who or what is the basis for truth, for what’s right and what’s wrong, for laws, morality, personal decisions, even the age of earth? Is it the Word of God or the ideas of man?
The authority of Scripture has been largely discarded in our society, and explains why, for instance, the Minnesota State High School League just ruled that “transgender” students who “self identify” as opposite their biological gender can compete on sports teams opposite […]
