Resurrection Under Attack – Again
Time Magazine Online is attacking the resurrection of Jesus Christ. In an article published Monday, the magazine reports a dubious claim by a Jewish collector that an inscription has been found which shows the idea of three days in the tomb and then a resurrection was already known of in Jewish legend before Jesus actually […]
Love
Continuing my thoughts on the Colossian letter, I come to Colossians 3:14: “Beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity.” To appreciate the depth of this verse, we ought look back to the immediately preceding verses to gain the proper context. Paul has encouraged Christians to dress themselves in […]

Many will hardly consider the cost of our Declaration […]

Soul for Sale
“For what will a man give in exchange for his soul?” (Mark 8:37) It’s been a long time since I was really shocked by anything I’ve seen in our present culture. Morals are almost invisible. There is no shame anymore. Sinners are now victims and there no longer exists a right way or a wrong […]
Dead and Gone
