Mankind, the Image of God, and the Gospel
At the beginning of mankind’s existence, God made man different from all of the animals He created. (Gen 1:26-28, 20-25) Have you ever asked yourself why God made man after His own image and likeness? The creation of man has far more significance than many realize.

Stop Ignoring What Jesus Said: Observe My Commandments

A Lesson in Sin: Honoring God’s Name
We are not to bare the titles and authority of the Self-Existent God and use it for evil. The authority of God’s position should not be used to deceive and destroy. God will not label any one who takes His name in vain as innocent Continue reading A Lesson in Sin: Honoring God’s Name

Insipid Salt
The Pinnacle of Godly character is the Lord Jesus Christ. He spent a significant amount of His ministry discussing character and conduct. We must look to His perfect example and emulate it.
