Have you ever heard someone say, “I just can’t understand the Bible!” Or maybe this one, “Well, that’s just your interpretation.

Inspiration | 20 Reasons I Am A Christian
I asked some university students to define “inspiration.” While some gave the correct answers, others were just confused.

20 Reasons:God Guides
Travel is always and adventure. Several years ago when I was flying I left a small airport in Hamilton, Alabama making a short hop to Tuscaloosa, Alabama. It was night time but the weather was spectacular. I reasoned that I could just set a lazy course to the south and watch for the lights of […]
