What is Biblical Repentance?
2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. What does God want; does he want people to perish? Luke 13:3 I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish. How many choices are there? Acts 17:30-31 In the past God overlooked such […]

Church History: Where it all went wrong (A Guide to understanding what has happened in almost 2000 years of church history)
What was the early church like? Acts 2:42 They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common.

Can We Trust the Bible?
The Bible is unarguably an incredible book. It is the best-selling, most quoted, most published, most circulated, most translated, most influential book in the history of mankind. There is no close second. But why should anyone believe that the Bible is actually true? Might not the Bible be a fraud? Might not it be an ancient book of mythology, filled with the fanciful, yet deceitful writings of men? What about […]
Science vs The Bible – Friends Or Enemies?
A commonly held belief today is that you can’t be a Christian AND a scientist since a scientist lives by the light of reason and not faith. Interestingly, the reason man was originally bold enough to venture scientific theories was because scientists believed in a rational thinking God, of law and order and therefore that there would be knowable laws of the universe. After this period (known as the Enlightenment) […]
If God is so good and loving, why is there so much evil in the world?
Introduction: First let us understand one simple fact; many people think that God is in control of everything. If God was in control of everything, He certainly has things in an awful mess! The Bible is clear; Man is in control of what happens in the earth for the present. God has, as it were, “leased the earth out to mankind”. Genesis 1:26: Then God said, “Let us make mankind […]
Biblical Archaeology: A Reason To Believe
2 Pt 1:16. “For we did not follow cleverly devised stories when we told you about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ in power, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. Peter knew the difference between stories and reality when he spoke about Jesus. The Bible is not a story-book, but a historical account of spiritual events. Luke 1:1-4 Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the […]
