American culture has steadily moved away from its grounding in the Christian faith. The percent of people who respond to polls and surveys and characterize themselves as “non-religious” has increased every year. This has not because the Christian faith has abandoned America but because the forces that oppose the Christian faith have gained power and influence. While the Internet has allowed Christians to reach more people worldwide, it has also enabled the anti-Christian forces to gain ground and repeat anti-Christian themes and narratives consistently across social media. Platforms like TikTok, that reach millions of young people, are decidedly anti-Christian in their overall scope and messaging. Even those people who were raised in a Christian home have turned their backs on their faith and only remember rudimentary teachings of the faith. …

The Incredible Testimony of a Muslim Man who Came to Jesus
I have heard many amazing testimonies from people over the years who have endured incredible things or who have experienced miracles that led them to Jesus. This is really one of the most amazing stories I have heard. This is from a man who was formally a Muslim. He recounts the story of an assault to take the life of the only Christian boy in his school. The story is really incredible. His journey is one that must be heard. I have this video so it will start around 17:48 where he sits down and recounts his story. Well worth a few minutes to watch. By the way, if you don’t know, the original Hebrew and Aramaic name for Jesus was Yeshua.

The evil one Whispers to Many Christians
Many of us in the Christian community believe we are living in the last days. The Bible tells us that we will not know the day or the hour, but the culture in the U.S. and around the world is giving us clues. Culture has never been as bad as it is today and there has never been the same level of Christian persecution worldwide. Maybe the worst thing is that the evil one is successfully driving a wedge within the Christian community and causing fractures that only benefit him. One of the most pernicious examples of this is many Christian’s perspective on the country of Israel. There is no other country that plays a more central role in the Bible. Jesus was born to Jewish parents, the disciples were …
Jesus Raises Lazarus from the Dead
While Jesus performed many miracles during his time on this earth, maybe the one that most challenged the human experience of the Disciples and the rest of the crowd that looked on was the raising of Lazarus from the tomb. Humans do not understand the supernatural and God operates through supernatural powers and abilities and Jesus displayed these abilities over and over again. Any person who was aware that a family member or friend had died would be in a state of utter shock if that person stood up and regained life. It is unimaginable in our human experience. So, you can just imagine the response that the crowd gathered outside Lazarus’ tomb must have experienced as Jesus called out to him to emerge from the tomb. Even those with …
Jesus and the Woman at the Well
People who know this story from the Bible have said that their eyes well up in tears as they watch it dramatized. It is the story of Jesus addressing a Samaritan woman (John 4:4) who has been a sinner all her life and he shows the compassion and love for this sinner only Jesus could offer. Jesus rests at Jacob’s well outside of Samaria. He asks the woman for a drink, but since she knew he was a Jew, and Jews did not normally associate with Samaritans, she was immediately defensive. She doubts him when he says that he is the Messiah and then he recounts moments in her life that only God could possibly know. Her reaction to both the realization that this was God in the flesh, the …
The Rapture of the Church
The Rapture is an event that most Evangelical Christians believe in and understand will happen thanks to writings by the Apostle Paul and others in the Bible. While many who claim to be “Christian” and many non-believers don’t really understand what the Rapture means; it’s importance cannot be overstated. The Apostle Paul describes the Rapture in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17. The term “Rapture” comes from a Latin word meaning “a carrying off, a transport, or a snatching away.” In verses 16 and 17, the Apostle Paul says: “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with …

The Apostle Paul’s Message to the Thessalonians
The Apostle Paul could not have been more clear and unambiguous in his message to the Thessalonians, found in chapter 4 and verses 13-18. “Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and …
Unsilenced TV Special; When UK Anti-Christians Tried to Silence Gods Message
The entire New Testament of the Bible is a message of love. It is at the very core of every book of the New Testament and Jesus’ central message. That message of loving other people is repeated by every Evangelical pastor, who preaches the Gospel. When asked about the most important commandment, Jesus answered by saying: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” This answer is found in the writings of three of the Gospels. Jesus clearly stated that in Christianity, loving your neighbor, i.e. loving other humans, as you …
