Faith that Spreads
Many people are living with the frustrating situation of sharing a house with unbelievers. Multiple women, as of late, have been sharing their experience of living with husbands who are either not believers of the gospel or are men not living the Christian belief they claim. This is a big issue. While you may be Continue reading

Modern Day Tempest: Gnosticism
It would be easy to say that Gnosticism is on the rise, but that wouldn’t be altogether true. If we dive into history we would see Gnostics wounding their beliefs and agendas through all cultures and governments, seeding their beliefs in the religious leaders throughout time. While there are various sects of Gnostics, one you Continue reading

Dealing With Controversies In Bible Study
Recently a friend brought up a question on how to address problems within her small group that may arise due to different denominations, perspectives and backgrounds. This is an excellent question. Bringing people together to learn and grow from the Word is a beautiful thing, however, we are flawed and full of opinions. Many of Continue reading

Current Events: “Nonhuman Beings”

Have you ever sat listening to a sermon or in a small study group and thought to yourself, they’re saying such obvious things that I already know! There’s nothing they can teach me. I want more! Or maybe you’re thinking you should find another study group or church that has more meat and potatoes for Continue reading

Are you spiritually restless and anxious? Do you seek a full assurance of faith? Even if you have been a Christian your whole life you may still find yourself lacking confidence, feeling powerless, afraid of things that are occurring of which you have no control.

How Can Women Serve?
Christians face a lot of intense pressure to give in to unbiblical practices. We are told to conform to the world or be labeled as unfashionable, bigots, racists, intolerant, outdated. We want Christianity to appeal to all generations, especially to the younger crowd and so we change how we dress, the words we speak, the Continue reading
