I am determined to keep fighting the fight of faith, even as Timothy was admonished to do by Paul the apostle (1 Tim. 6:11-12). However, I sometimes wonder if my two cents worth that I put into my weekly mail out really makes that much of an impact on anyone or anything outside this […]

IF YOU ARE A TRENCH-WORKER CHRISTIAN
Their names are withheld from the listing of the faithful in Hebrews 11. However, their faith was not overlooked. The world rejected them, imprisoned them, tormented them, derided them, scoffed at them, belittled them, ignored them, and killed them. God, on the other hand, protected them, encouraged them, loved them, supplied them, promised them, and delivered […]
WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT SPEAKING IN TONGUES?
This is one of the most frequently asked Bible questions. Let’s give brief attention to the two main sections of the New Testament that mention such tongues. ACTS 2, 10, 19 The first mention of speaking in tongues is found immediately following the Spirit coming upon the apostles. Luke records in Acts 2:4: “And they […]
Bible-Based Parenting Encourage Where You Can
First, the Bible: “Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying, “Do you see how Ahab has humbled himself before Me? Because he has humbled himself before Me, I will not bring the evil in his days, but I will bring the evil upon his house in his son’s days.” (1 […]
