Can a Born Again Christian Be Demon Possessed? – Part 1

I start a new series today on a controversial topic as indicated in the title. Why? Because recently, in church, the teaching from the pulpit actually stated that Christians could indeed be demon possessed. It surprised me to hear a pastor teach that.

Reversing Babylon

This topic is a little off the normal path for me but I thought it important enough to write a short post. Artificial Intelligence or AI. What do you know about it? If you don’t know much about it you should do a little research because it’s about to change your life, indeed the lives …

The Gospel Part 6 – Who is Jesus Christ?

In the last post, I provided basic biblical doctrine about God. To summarize: This post is the most important in the gospel series on this site. It is about the person of Jesus Christ and how through him alone, God offers salvation – eternal life in the Kingdom of God. The offer of eternal life …

The Gospel Part 4 – How Sinful Are We?

But at your word I will lower the nets.” 6 When they had done this, they caught so many fish that their nets started to tear. 7 So they motioned to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both boats, so that they were about to …
