UFO or Demon

This week's Preacher's Point is difficult for me to write. The difficulty is that I like to stick to Biblical facts; this week is nearly all theory. The topic is something I have never preached or written about. I have only discussed this in a few private conversations. We had a guest speaker in college, … Continue reading UFO or Demon

Fixing The Church

There are seven churches listed in Revelation chapters two and three. I believe that every church, in any place or time, can point at one of the seven churches and say, "There we are." In other words, every church holds the characteristics of one of the seven churches. If we look back at church history, … Continue reading Fixing The Church

"How can a loving God send someone to hell?" "If God loves us, how can He allow things like this to happen?" "A God that would send someone to hell is not a God I want to follow." Over the years, if God had given me a dollar every time I heard these or similar … Continue reading How Does God’s Love and Justice Coexist?
