My God is Your God. My Bible is Your Bible.

When proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ to people, there has always been the odd one or two to firmly let me know they are not interested in knowing about, “your God” or “your Bible.” Amazingly, such has even been expressed by church affiliated people! Who, “their god ” might be, they are not able …

Don’t Unhitch the Old Testament from Your Faith

I see a popular US preacher got himself into hot water with fellow Christians on social media recently, saying Christians need to, “unhitch the Old Testament from their faith.” It would be wrong to judge him on that statement without knowing the full context in which he said this, but it seems that is exactly what …
