In Defense of Something Close to Venting

“Speaking honestly and openly seems both necessary and precarious. So then, how are we to share our stronger thoughts and feelings?”

Outline for Understanding Issues of Conscience and Legalism 

“The church of Jesus Christ needs men and women of strong conviction. We must, however, submit all of our convictions to the test of God’s Word.”

How Can I Have Assurance of Salvation? 

“One may wander long in the valley of the shadow of doubt. But we need not despair. Not all who wander are lost.”

How does God's Word impact our prayers?

God invites His children to talk with Him, yet our prayers often become repetitive and stale. How do we have a real conversation with God? How do we come to know Him so that we may pray for His will as our own?
