My Sons and Me – Finding Their Way

Today my wife and I were given the happy news that our expected baby, due in July, IS A BOY!  This will be our third!  Once and for all this should prove that all of the “old wives tales” and tricks that are used to determine the gender of a child in the womb are 100% bogus!  I cannot tell you how many people were certain that this would be a girl!

The Gospel is not just a story about the penalty and the problem of our sin… It’s even more than the invitation to know God’s very near presence, to be adopted as a son and a daughter of the King of Kings, and the commission He gives us to represent him….

Salvation: God’s Work or Man’s? My beliefs about the doctrine of Soteriology

Soteriology: The Doctrine of Salvation

There are many who have studied this wonderful doctrine more than I, but the following is the result of my lifetime of study of the incredible free gift of God, made possible by Jesus Christ, that is called Salvation.

Statement of Belief:

I believe that salvation is offered freely to all men (John 3:16).  Salvation describes God’s plan of redemption made possible by Christ’s atonement on the cross for the sins of mankind.  It is given to ...
