We are in a critical time as many are making strong and even violent efforts to silence voices that differ with the secular and politically correct positions on a host of issues. Conservative Christians are in the cross-hairs. Intimidation of all kinds are aimed at those who dare to speak. [...]
"Through Christ, God has given us the privilege and authority as apostles to tell Gentiles everywhere what God has done for them, so that they will believe and obey him, bringing glory to his name" (Romans 1:5 NLT). Anyone who is a follower of Jesus is called and commissioned to. [...]
[Worldview of Christ Part 18] The Greek word mathetes is translated disciple. It means learner. But in what sense? As an adjunct professor, I taught at a university and at the end of the semester, I graded the students and they graded me. I graded them as to whether they. [...]
