What is truth? Where can it be found? Is it subjective to the opinions of each individual? We believe that truth is found in the Word of God. It is call the word of truth; it is elevated to the name of the Creator. Once found and understood, the truth should always be upheld. Standing for truth is almost always a lonely…

As we’ve gone through this series, we have looked at the difficulty many churches today face concerning how they should deal with certain sins. While some subtly or openly accept them, others treat them as unforgivable – or at least those who practice them as pariahs. But God has always treated sin with grace and truth. The truth part is that sin…
Many Christian churches seem to be moving in different directions on many sins. While some churches seem to be following society, condoning political correct sins, other churches treat those same sins as though they are worse than any other. The churches that condone these sins, sometimes in a subtle way and sometimes outright, claim that these transgressions are different because it is…
Sin has always been sin. Even before there was a law, sin resulted from moving away from God. Paul lists sins four different places that have four dispensational meanings. He lists pretty much the same sins in each place. Romans one is sin before the law, which gives us an idea of how an ungoverned society without God ends up. The next…
As Christian churches try to straddle the fence on the subject of LGBTQetc., they create contradictions that must be ignored. Unfortunately, what they do is ignore the Word of God and not the pressures of society. Andy Stanley exemplifies this in his defense of his conference to help parents of gay children. While Andy says things that are right, he continually contradicts…
Is homosexuality different from other sins? Andy Stanley thinks so. So do most conservative Christians. Modernists want to separate it out as being okay because that is the way you wereborn. It is who you are, so how could it really be a sin? Conservatives, on the other hand, will often point to it as being so much worse than other sin,…
Shame is thought of as a bad thing. It is something that one should feel about who one is outside of Christ. But shame is often what leads to humility. As we are all born sinners, should we not feel shame about being sinners? That shame leads us to the humility necessary to recognize our need for a Savior. God continually brought…
We don’t believe that the Lord’s Supper is a ceremony that should be observed in this dispensation. (This is controversial amongst Mid-Acts dispensationalists.) There are several reasons we don’t observe the Lord’s Supper. The first is Colossians 2:9-17. The second has to do with whom the new testament was made with – it was not the body of Christ. The third reason…
There is a lot of celebrations of pride in this and that going on today in our society. Even churches are jumping on the band wagon. Some are now saying that although ‘social justice’ type pride is bad, celebrating who you are is good. Because, after all, didn’t God make us? Would He want some groups to be oppressed? Doesn’t God love…
Some of our beliefs are vastly different to the majority of Christian’s. We believe that signs and miracles passed away with the finishing of scripture. We also believe that there are no special gifts nor callings today, nor does God interact with us other than through His word. We further believe that all ordinances and special days or activities such as water…
