Why are the Youth Falling Away from the Faith?

It doesn’t take much to notice that the great falling away Scripture talks about in 2 Thessalonians 2 is happening right now.

The Dangerous Heresy of Replacement Theology

I first came to the knowledge of Replacement Theology a couple of years ago. In retrospect, I realize that I had heard tidbits of what can be considered Replacement Theology in church growing up.

What is Philippians 4:13 Really Saying?

Philippians 4:13 is one of the most popular verses in the Bible but also one of the most misused and misinterpreted. “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me,” it’s everywhere; shirts, mugs, decals, journals- you name it.

Is Jesus ‘the Reason for the Season’?

It is that time of the year again; people rushing to get all their presents bought and wrapped, decorating the house with a splash of festive red, green, and gold.

We live in a world where being a follower of Christ is not only difficult but ridiculed. Being a woman, specifically, a Christian woman is even harder. I’m not saying that Christian men have it any easier, however, women must confront the world’s harsh criticism on female apparel that men don’t. In a society where…
