Start the New Year with A Simple and Rewarding Commitment
As the new year begins, many people set resolutions to improve their lives. One powerful and enriching way to start the year is by committing to read the Bible in a year. There are many means available to accomplish this. You can find printed Bibles, podcasts, CDs, downloadable audio, and websites designed for this purpose. These resources typically start on January 1st and continue daily for the entire year.
This might seem like quite the commitment for some, but many folks spend twice as much time daily swiping through content like ice bucket challenges, new dance moves, or watching a rock roll down a hill. Everyone has enough time daily to take this on. Even if you are not already a Christian, this is a great opportunity to learn more about the Christian faith and be on the same page daily with millions of other Christians. [Read more…]

I first heard Paul Harvey’s broadcast, ‘If I Were the Devil,’ over twenty years ago. I was surprised by how accurately this broadcast from 1965 lined up with the events at the time thirty-nine years later.

Good Friday, the Friday before Easter, is the Christian day to commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus and His death at Calvary.
Good Friday is good because of what Christ did for mankind. Yes it is gruesome, but it was necessary to reconcile man to God and only His Son could accomplish this for us. Scripture shows us that death is not the end of the road. Resurrection is ahead. Resurrection is promised.
The biblical account of Good Friday can be found in all four Gospels:
Matthew | Mark | Luke | John
Good Friday this year is on Friday, March 29, 2024.

I have often heard people ask the question. Why does God let bad things happen? This question is often raised in different scenarios. Some ask the question after something tragic happens to them or someone they love. Or maybe they or a family member received bad news from a doctor. Just turning on the news for some might prompt the question, how could a supposed loving God allow such bad things to happen? [Read more…]
How can Christianity be true when Christians are flawed?
I have often heard people say that they have met or known Christians who do not act or talk as they think Christians should. The imperfections they see in these so called Christians justify their belief that Christianity is false or flawed. To further their justification of their belief, they might point to a recent scandal involving a religious leader or actions that have been overlooked by a church. [Read more…]
