Continue reading →: Example of an answer to prayer
Over the past few years, I’ve had a few dozen “coincidences” that I would describe as either blessings or answers to prayer, and I thought I’d quickly share one with you. I believe that we Christians should do this as part of our fellowship with others, for answers to prayer…

Would you like an inexpensive and simple tool to help you read your Bible more often and with greater interest? Would you like to be able to more easily find verses that relate to important topics, such as how to become a Christian, how a Christian should live or how…

I think we’ve all heard of the seven deadly (or detestable) sins, and that seven is one of the most commonly used numbers in the Bible. In this post, I’d like to present seven problems that keep people from witnessing (or witnessing effectively), and offer a solution for each (though…

This is my third post on the Lord’s Prayer. In it, I’ll discuss the meaning of “in heaven.” Although this post is a little long, it’s a fairly quick read. Our Father, who art in heaven… Summary In the Lord’s Prayer and on many other occasions, Jesus referred to God…

Continue reading →: My Testimony
In my last post, I talked about whether Christians should share their faith. In this one, I share my personal testimony. If you’re not a Christian, a testimony is a story of how a person became a Christian. All Christians have one. Some may be more dramatic than others, but…

Continue reading →: Should Christians share their faith?
This is an important yet controversial question, especially today. One might think that Christians would answer it one way, and non-Christians (atheists, agnostics, those who follow a different religion) another. Right? Maybe not. Let’s consider non-Christians for a moment. Atheists are likely to say “no,” as most believe that religion…
