Creation

21Feb10

Darwinists keep looking for the missing link. The link they are missing is Christ’s role in creation.

The issue of “origins” is a favorite topic of debate for scientists, philosophers and theologians. If the subject of creation interests you, be careful that you aren’t so engrossed in the theories that you ignore the obvious […]

Teachers and mentors won’t find you; you have to find them.

God sends others to help you grow as a Christian. First and foremost, He sends the Holy Spirit, who “leads into all truth” (John 14:17). The Holy Spirit is part of the supernatural package of your salvation, so you don’t have to go […]

Discipline begins with small things done daily.
Mark Twain once said: “The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one.”
That’s good advice, whether you want to finish a short-term project, or you desire to […]
