Everyone by now is aware of the child abuse that not only went on in the Catholic Church but was actually covered up by the leaders of the Catholic Church. That immorality and abuses will happen in the church is inevitable since the church, like any other organization, is filled with people who are sinners.…
I spoke at Paradigm last Thursday night on the subject of worship. I reminded them that about half of all that the Bible says about worship is condemning false worship. As a matter of fact, the amount of Scripture devoted to false worship, along with the subtlety of false worship, should cause every Christian to…
Undeniable should not be taken to mean that no one denies Christ is God. One only has to look into the halls of academia, walk the corridors of cults, listen to the mantra of atheists and agnostics, or scan the pages of antiquity to find a plethora of individuals all too willing to deny that…
When anyone sees two young men riding bicycles and wearing white shirts and black ties, he can be almost certain that the Mormon missionaries are spreading the message of Mormonism. Generally, Mormons are well educated and hard working as well as being fairly knowledgeable about Mormonism. Often times, they are even more knowledgeable about how…
In today’s Crimson, the deans at Harvard urge professors to work at lowering the cost of required reading for classes.

“Each one must do just as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”(2 Corinthians 9:7) As you well know, a couple in our church gave $200, 000.00 for renovating the Fellowship Hall, Kitchen and Gymnasium. Although they chose to remain anonymous, I want you to…
Many of our students will be spending their spring break with the BSU at our Glorieta Conference Center near Santa Fe, New Mexico. This week is always a special time for students to grow spiritually and for some to make decisions about following God’s call to the mission field, working in a local church, and…
