The Age of Accountability

Because of some recent conversations with various people, I have been re-studying the theory of “The Age of Accountability”.  I was intrigued to discover that in its various forms, it is indeed a theory and not a hard and fast Biblical doctrine.  However, the results of which version of the theory you believe in can [...]

I read this today: When the LORD saw that man’s wickedness was wide spread on the earth and that every scheme his mind thought of was nothing but evil all the time, the LORD regretted that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. Then the LORD said, ‘I [...]

Interview – Paul of Tarsus

Bible Memory – The Challenge

After a good discussion about our scripture memorization program at church, I thought I’d jot down some notes about the subject. I have never been good at memorizing exact quotes.  I love to paraphrase an idea or saying, so I can understand it better in “my own language”.  However there is a definite advantage in [...]

Excellent Message About True Christianity

If you have 58 or so minutes to spare from your busy life, watch this video preached at a youth conference by Paul Washer. As a disclaimer, I don’t know him, however the message he proclaims is excellent.
