King Saul was a serious disappointment. When we are introduced to him in 1 Samuel 9, he was impressive in his own right. Although Saul didn’t come from a great tribe of Israel, he had a powerful father, and he became the tallest and most handsome man in Israel. But Saul wasn’t just impressive to look at. Saul also had a great…

It is hard to get ahead these days. The cost of living continues to rise and wages aren’t keeping up. For many Americans, they are barely getting by. Today, it is being reported that one in four Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. This is an unsustainable way of living. If you drain your bank account between every pay period, you will…

Therefore, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob must be the God of our universe. But, the proof evidence doesn’t stop there. The second…

To do this, there are three major arguments we can use. The cosmological argument states that a universe with a beginning must have a cause that is greater than the laws of physics. The fine-tuning argument…

There is far too much negativity in the world today. You can hardly escape it. The news is filled with hatred, cruelty and lies. Our TV shows, movies and music are cynical, grotesque and lewd.  Social media is foul, divisive and perverse. It is everywhere. Many of us have probably found ourselves being angry, sad or scared because of the media we…
