Did Blues Legend Robert Johnson Really Sell His Soul to the Devil?

Robert Johnson, a legendary blues musician, struggled with a tumultuous life, marked by poverty, infidelity, and personal struggles.

The Thanksgiving Story You Never Learned in School

The Pilgrims' Thanksgiving is often romanticized, but historical records reveal a more nuanced story. Contrary to popular myth, the Pilgrims did not wear buckled hats or black and white clothing, and their Thanksgiving celebrations were not the first in America. The tradition of celebrating Thanksgiving was common in England and Europe, and the Pilgrims' 1621 event was not an annual occurrence. The myths surrounding the Pilgrims' Thanksgiving were largely perpetuated by Sarah Josepha Hale, who campaigned for the holiday to become a national tradition. [... more]

Can Money Buy Happiness?

Financial teacher Ron Blue explores the disconnect between what people say and do about money, revealing that expecting money to fix problems or fill hearts is a recipe for disappointment.

The Guilt of Mankind vs. The Glory of God

The Apostle Paul declares that all of humanity is guilty of universal depravity, enslaved to sin, and under the authority of sin.

Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners, not victims or those with addictions, and offers deliverance from sin through His gospel. [... more]

The Sacred Book

The Bible is not a mix of fables and truth, but the final, inspired, unchanging revelation from God. It's the last word, spoken through Christ and his apostles until Christ appears, and it's sufficient to equip the believer for every good work. The greatest danger facing the church today is the same as the first temptation: questioning God's word and authority. [... more]

Why We Belong Part 2

The church is a living body of which we are co-owners, not just a club where we pay dues and show up occasionally. We belong to the church because we've exchanged observing for owning, and because everybody's watching, including the angelic hosts. Jesus Christ is not finished building his church, and neither are we. [... more]

Why We Belong Part 1

Belonging to a local church is essential for Christians as it enables them to resist pride, radical individualism, and consumer mentality by submitting and belonging to a spiritual family. The church is a body of believers that has set aside qualified elders and deacons, defines a doctrinal and ethical standard, and develops structure and method to disciple and discipline its members.
