countering culture with the TRUTH of GOD's word
Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate. […]
Read More A Beautiful MessToday felt lively. The local church showed up in great numbers and there were prominent voices in the abolitionist movement present. Joseph Spurgeon, R.C.

Read More ProphecyIn case you missed it, the third entry of this series on apologetics was about eye witnesses to Jesus’ ministry. Consider this entry part two of entry #3.

Read More The MartyrsRecap: In the previous entries on apologetics, I’ve shared the emphasis God puts on knowledge and the unique composition of the the bible.

Read More Eye Witness TestimonyIn part one of this series of entries about why I trust the authority of scripture, I explained how important wisdom is. God doesn’t want us to be uninformed about the legitimacy of His claims, who He is or the implications all that has for our lives. This time, my goal is to show you […]
