    Shepherds, Wise Men, and Ordinary People

    A nativity scene depicts the main figures in the account of Jesus’ birth together in one location at once. It works as an effective story-telling device. However, the story of Jesus’ birth has become so familiar to most Christians that many of us miss a few key points.

  • Who Are You and Who Am I?

    Jesus is able to reveal to you the truth about who you are. Too many of us wander through life, trying to decide who we are. We spend our lives in a perpetual identity crisis. Acknowledge Jesus as he truly is. Then, ask him who you are. What is his purpose for your life? He…

  • Freedom in Christ

    Freedom is important to us not only as Americans, but more so as Christians. God speaks about freedom throughout His Word, but it is not the sort of freedom the world promotes.

  • Finding Time for God

    Good time managers recognize the need to set priorities. You must choose to allocate time for the things that are most important to you.

  • OSAMA BIN LADEN NOW IN HELL (via Joel C. Rosenberg’s Blog)

    Strongly-worded title, but it needs to be said. I saw Joel’s blog while I was working on my post (see below; I published it just before I posted this). He says a number of things that I probably would have said in a more detailed analysis. I urge those who read my post to follow…

  • Repentance: The Flip Side of Faith

    Spiritually, many Christians try to walk with a faith that lacks its flip side. When I became a Christian, I was told how I could be born again if I simply believe in Jesus Christ and accept his free gift of salvation. I could simply say a quick prayer and be guaranteed eternal life. Yet,…

  • Salvation Page Added
