As my theological mentor [Dr. Robert Charles Sproul] once stated, “Our Christian assertion is that there is more to our lives than ‘now.’ If there is not then even the now is meaningless. But we say now counts. Why? Now counts because we are creatures who have an origin and a destiny which is rooted […]
During His earthly ministry, Jesus demonstrates through God’s love how we are able to inherit His blessings and be filled with His presence, so that we never hunger nor thirst again. This is only offered to those that quietly present and submit themselves to God’s will, and in turn, show God’s kindness and gentleness to […]
Saints: The coronavirus is not only a physical existence, but also a theological one. For example: It was reported that a Northern California church was held in contempt of court and fined for repeatedly defying a court order to stop holding unmasked indoor services in violation of COVID-19 health restrictions.
