Truth in a World of Lies – 1 John 2:18-21 One of the most fascinating subjects in Christianity is the return of Christ. Books are written, predictions are made, charts are created, and entire ministries are built around trying to decipher every detail of the end times. Yet when the …
There is a reason buyer’s remorse is so common. Something looked perfect in the advertisement. The product promised satisfaction. The salesman assured that it would solve the problem. Then it arrives, the excitement fades, and the realization sets in: this is not what was promised. The world works much the …
In a world filled with spiritual confusion, customized morality, and self-made religion, many people want a version of Christianity that fits comfortably into their lifestyle.
