We all have our own stories from our lives. And if we're honest, we will admit that we frequently repeat the same stories; even to the point where others can fill in forgotten details.

Scripture is clear that the natural state of mankind is at enmity with God. Simply put, we are enemies. And yet, Scripture also says that we can have peace with God. How is this possible? Can we have peace with God by living a good life, free from sin? Can we have peace with God through church, either through our church affiliation, attendance or f…

The modern world, if it considers God's existence, likes to emphasize God as love. But it must be recognized that God's wrath and judgment are just a crucial. And while we are in the day of grace, we must recognize that God still hates sin and that He does not, and will not, simply sweep sin under the rug. In Lamentations, the prophet is forced to …

One of the most common terms used to describe the salvation experience is to be "born again." As Christians, we commonly refer to ourselves as, "born again believers."
