“Let light shine out of darkness.”
July 20, 2014. “This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the…
Be silent before God.
July 19, 2014. “Be silent, all flesh, before the Lord, for he has roused himself from his holy dwelling.” (Zechariah 2:13) Passages like this one almost give me chills when I read them.

How important is the resurrection?
July 14, 2014. As we journey further into the 21st century, it seems that more and more people of the religious world are rejecting the literal resurrection of Christ. I would expect this from non-believing skeptics, but not from Christians. I don’t think there are a large number of those who wear the name of…
Behold, the Christ.
July 12, 2014. I listened to a great sermon last night entitled “Behold the Christ” by V. P. Black that I would recommend listening too. You can find it by clicking on the link above, if you are interested. It is an older sermon in a style that you may not be accustomed to, but…
