A common (what I’m going to argue for) misunderstanding many Christians have acquired over the last century or two (with the rise of the theological system called “Dispensationalism”) is the idea that God has two peoples, Israel and the Church. I don’t believe the Bible, especially the New Testament, allows us to make that distinction. […]

Men… The American “Church” Has Failed Y...
Steve closes up the computer, feeling that all too familiar dejection and shame, the same emotions he always experiences after he has succumbed to the temptation to look at pornography.

The Most Segregated Day Of The Week
Whites, Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, Native Americans and other races all comprise the United States. Christians are also made up of all races, tribes, tongues and color. On every continent of the world, the name of Christ is lifted up in languages that you have never heard of nor understand. Yet, come Sunday, we are quick […]
