Why Am I A “Sinner” And Why Do I Need To Be Forgiven?
By Bob Perry Here’s a question I got recently: “It has always bothered me that I am a sinful human. None of my good efforts, leading a good life can deter sin. I was born with sin and I have to be forgiven? I don’t get that. Why am I a ‘sinner’ and why do I need to be...

The Mind-Blowing Meaning Behind the Sign of Jonah

Serpents, Dragons, and the Bible
By Ryan Leasure If you’re from an Appalachian snake-handling church, I’m sorry to disappoint. This is not THAT kind of post. Instead, it’s a post about how the Bible portrays snakes, serpents, and dragons. More than that, it’s about how a mighty warrior defeats the...
Don’t believe me? Check for yourself!
