Perhaps global South believers will help Americans appreciate the value of their own spiritual legacy. Revival Is Possible In a... Continue Reading

The Far Less Sensational Truth about Jesus’ ‘Wife’
Was Jesus ever married? The New Testament says no
Jesus was married. None. There is nothing about Jesus being married in the canonical gospels, in apocryphal gospels, in the church fathers, or anywhere else.

Why Do We Work?
Today’s culture provides a much different narrative of work than what we read in scripture
We need to focus on our gifts, understand ourselves, and prayerfully seek discernment from Christ in our lives. This is how we are to best steward our scarce resources, the most scarce being our time. It also means that we can derive value, fulfillment and happiness from our work. The scriptures are clear that not... Continue Reading
