Then God said, "Let Us make man in our own image, according to our likeness... So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them." - Genesis 1:26-27 What does it mean to be created in the image of God? This is a [...]
Is it possible to lose your salvation? I don't like this question. The reason I don't like it is that I don't think it can be answered in a yes or no format; it depends on what you mean. Do you mean that if you mess up and sin that you lose your salvation and [...]
An Unexpected Ministry As many of you know, I write blogs fairly regularly. I have been writing since 2008 and have over 300 articles written.
