Every Disciple A Life Changer

  One of the most shocking facts about Christianity is that the very “way” to become a Christian was lost for the greater part of 1500 years. From the Edict of Milan in 313 AD when Emperor Constantine ushered in the modern Catholic Church to the 16th century when the “Radical Reformers” in Europe influenced the “Anabaptists,” we do not know of any movement that made disciples and baptized them […]

Fool Says There Is No God

The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” Proverbs 14:1 Many have said, “I believe in Science, so I can not believe in God.” But what if science proves the existence of God? Would people still fight to believe? What if we could prove there is a God, and the Bible is the Word of God, would we then follow the Scriptures? Let us consider why people refuse […]

Rear Admiral Thomas W. McKean A Tribute of Admiration and Affection by Dr. Kip McKean

“Fair Winds and Following Seas” is a toast or salutation between mariners. It implies that a ship will have favorable winds and not have to pound into the waves, for on a perfect sailing day, the wind direction is the same as the waves. Such was the life of my father – Rear Admiral Thomas Wayne McKean, USN (Retired). A dear neighbor wrote to my mother this week, “Tom was […]
