Safe Sex

God's plan for sex is to bring a man and a woman in the sanctity of marital love, to a sense of oneness where they become One Flesh. The Bible teaches that we should earnestly try to satisfy the need of our partner, and that immorality is psychologically harmful, kills true love, and endangers future marital happiness. The single life is a good life, but it must be a guarded life, and there must be the way of holiness for every life. [... more]

Is Persecution Coming To America?

Persecution is coming to the church, and it will take many forms, from the loss of free speech to the loss of jobs and homes. Christians must be prepared to stand strong in their faith, even in the face of adversity, and trust in the Holy Spirit to guide them.
