Examining Faith

Why is it so hard to get your prayers answered, while others seem to have little or no problem? Overcoming faith is comprised of 7 basic elements that are crucial to a victorious outcome.

Minority Christians Who Did Not Vote For Obama

Just as it shouldn’t be assumed that Caucasians who didn’t vote for Obama rejected the idea of a Black president; likewise, it should not be assumed that all minorities voted for him. Each side had its reasons for why it did or didn’t support Mr. Obama. Christian minorities figure on both of those sides.

Book Review: The Holy Spirit & the End Times by James A. Wilson

James A. Wilson establishes that reconciliation must be the prime component of a ministry in “The Holy Spirit and the End Times.” The book is filled with awe inspiring stories, exciting experiences, and miraculous events that are happen­ing in every day circumstances to ordinary people.

Doesn’t being a Christian mean you go to church and then God forgives you for all your sins and then you go to heaven when you die? Well, no it really doesn’t mean that.

Being a Christian means you have repented of your sin and you follow Christ. So how do we know if we’ve sinned in the first place? Oh, yeah, back to that law. So let’s look a little closer at the 10 commandments and see which ones we have kept.

In the Christian faith, spiritual abuse is often thought of as great periods of religious persecution against masses of people. What is spiritual abuse? Does it exist today?

The Relevance of the Old Testament

Have you ever noticed that some Bibles only contain the writings of the New Testament and the Psalms? Why do you think that is? Well, I can’t speak for the publishers, but I do know that a number of Christians believe that the Old Testament is no longer relevant to God’s people, as it supposedly [...]
