Exceeding Great and Precious Promises

Some of you have lived in a time where a man’s word was his bond. An affirmation and a handshake were suitable to seal a deal. In today’s society, with lying being so rampant and commonplace, we sometimes do not know who, or what, to believe. With that being said, I am absolutely certain that

Why Should I Become A Christian?

“Tell me, why should I become a Christian?” This question is reasonable and answerable. Peter explained that we should “…be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear” (1 Pet. 3:15). Therefore, let me begin my defense of
