Speak the Truth
In the days following the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the believers’ love for one another was characterized by selfless giving to meet the needs of one another.

The Wisdom of God and the Wisdom of the World
Man cannot find out God by his own wisdom. In fact, God has decreed it so for he tells us that “in the wisdom of God the world by (its) wisdom knew not God” (I Corinthians 1:21).

Faith Without Works
Christians believe that we are saved by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. This simple truth differentiates Christianity from all other religions. All other religions ultimately require something or rather some work on the part of their practitioner. That is, those religions require you to do something to earn eternal life. Not soContinue reading “Faith Without Works”
