Skull Church
So what do you think about the skull image pictured on the above crucifix? Does it represent some sort of “evil”, or maybe it has something to do with some cult? Well, interestingly enough, it has a HUGE significance to a rather large “cult”… namely Christianity! (As far as referring to Christianity as a … Continue reading
16 Essential Christian Beliefs
These are the Essential Doctrines of the Christian Faith. We know this because of the testimony of the Christian Bible. Additionally, the Essential Doctrines are reflected in the Church’s ancient statements of faith called “creeds”. Creeds are short summaries of what the Bible teaches.

Tattoo
OK, the elephant in the room is Leviticus 19:28 which seems to prohibit tattoos. Did you know the verse right before it (verse 27) prohibits cutting your sideburns and trimming your beard? Very interesting. We are after all under the NEW COVENANT… According to a recent Pew Research Poll, more than one … Continue reading
Greek Power
Just to make you aware, although I have been a minister for nearly 19 years, I am not a Greek scholar. The odds are great that you are not either.
