It is believed that since the tithes were part of the Law which is no longer applicable to Christians, so too the tithes are no longer a requirement for us today. It is also a fact that many preachers, in a relentless greed for filthy lucre, have manipulated crowds into giving huge sums of money…
Is ISIS a sign of the times? Maybe. The fact that they kill and persecute Christians certainly raise alarms. But to an extent, these things have happened throughout history. There are other things that may point to the end of days. Have you ever noticed how liberal the world has become? There was a time…
All religion is a mixture of truth and tradition with differing shades of gray. There is no area where this is more evident than in Christian worship. Worship means different things to different people. From Catholicism to Protestantism, all denominations define worship in terms of their traditional thinking and cultural conditioning. For some it is…
In the Old Testament (OT), God set aside the Sabbath day as the day His people should worship. God rested on the 7th day and commanded men to do likewise. The Jews observed the Sabbath from Friday 6 pm to Saturday 6 pm. Nothing in the NT explicitly teaches that any change was to occur….

I have friends, who are very sincere Christians and whom I respect deeply, who just love Christian rap and hip hop gospel music. Personally, they are not my favorite musical genres. In fact, I am not a big fan of modern music, period. But I’m not so narrow minded as to impose my personal taste…
People often say that you must be faithful to your local church first. For example, if you wish to visit a different church one Sunday, people will tell you that your first commitment must be to your home church. If you’re involved in ministry outside of the local church (e.g. campus ministries), they say that…
If you’ve ever watched TBN or Daystar, it is impossible to hear a sermon without the preacher asking for donations. There are two things that are impossible – for God to lie, and for a TBN preacher to not guilt you or lure you into giving. Preachers asking for financial assistance is not wrong. The…
