It is supremely evident that America was founded on Christian values. Part of the reason immigrants came to America was to seek out a place to create a government that would allow the freedom to worship, instead of having a religion forced on individuals by rulers and dictators.

READ MOREThe term to covet means: Hebrew-hamad- to desire, to delight greatly in; Greek-zeloo- to burn with zeal, to be heated or boil with envy, hatred, anger. When we look at these terms and the way they are conveyed, to covet means more than to just want something. It is to want something someone else has with the desire for them to not have it, regardless of how that happens.
READ MOREChristian revival in the church is not something we make happen through planning an event and setting up a tent. True revival must first happen in the hearts of believers who desire oneness with the Lord God and pursue holiness with all their might. It's when men and women like this come together, as led by the Holy Spirit, that true revival in a church can begin to take place. Revival doesn't just happen by chance...
READ MOREJesus is referred to in the New Testament as both the Son of God and the Son of Man. Truly, Jesus is the God-Man; fully God and at the same time fully Man. We can see this clearly as we look at the Virgin Birth, at Jesus’ miracles, at Jesus’ claims about Himself, and at the qualities of humanity.
READ MORESovereignty means God is in complete control over everything He created. Unbound by time and space as we are, God sees past, present, and future all at the same time and can exist everywhere at the same time.

READ MOREThe cities of refuge in the Bible are spoken of at length in Numbers chapter 35 and in Joshua chapters 20 and 21. These cities were part of the cities given to the Levites, the priestly tribe, to protect a person who caused the death of another accidentally or without vicious intent. Three cities were located on the east side of the Jordan River and three cities were on the west side of the Jordan River—six cities in all.
READ MOREThe Trinity is God. As mere men we cannot fully understand or explain God. Yet, in His infinite wisdom, God gave us glimpses of who He is in His Word that He might reveal to us His nature and His essence. God clearly reveals Himself to us as a triune being: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—three distinct personalities operating in unity as one true God. Let’s see what His Word says about that.
READ MOREIf Jesus weren’t a friend to sinners, He wouldn’t have had any friends on Earth. We’re all sinners and we all need Jesus to be our friend and to be our Savior. That’s why He came—to save us and make us able, once again, to be friends with God. Let’s look at what Scripture says about this.
