Many Christians have joined the tolerance movement, wanting to be known for their acceptance of others’ opinions and lifestyles in a misguided attempt to share the gospel. Why is this misguided? Because the life of Jesus stands in stark opposition to this brave new belief system. A thoughtful study of the Bible will quickly reveal that tolerance as it is thought of today was never seen as a virtue. Why? Let’s talk about it.
I would like to see feminism return to a place where there is dignity in being a woman. We want to teach our boys and our girls from a very young age that God has a very good plan for their lives. We want to look at both men and women through the eyes of Christ, each as uniquely gifted as the other. Listen in as we go back to the Bible and see what it says about these current events.

Over 2000 years ago Pontius Pilate spoke to Jesus and asked Him, “What is the truth?” What Pilate didn’t know is that he was talking to The Truth: God in the flesh, the One through whom the world was created. Pilate washed his hands of Jesus’ death and sadly, never came to know The Truth. Today, we are fortunate to be able to know The Truth! And our job is to teach that to our children. This is the way of the Savior: to live and walk in truth. As you study God’s word and prayerfully seek truth, ...

Romans 8:28 is one of the most claimed promises about the providence and grace of God in our ups and downs.
