The Book of Romans, written around 56 – 58 AD during his 3rd missionary journey, is considered to be Paul’s “Magnum Opus.” It is the apostle’s greatest body of work. If Paul were an artist, Romans would be his masterpiece, because it is his most influential epistle in the Bible. Many of the beloved verses disciples of Christ have memorized over the years are from the book of Romans, such as Romans 8: 28 and Romans 12: 1-2. Let us…

Like most young men in America, I was introduced to athletics at a very young age. Additionally, I was exposed to many of the venues often associated with these platforms. For one, I was initiated into FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes). My initial impression was “amazing”, all of us hold religion and God as the most important aspect of our lives…I had found a home! It was not so. It wasn’t long before I noticed that all the doctrines of…

In the eternity of all things scriptural, love is the ultimate principle of the Christian life. Almost everywhere around the globe on the first day of the week, the located Church might be singing these words, “Jesus is Lord, my Redeemer, How he loves me, how I love Him.” What excellent words to hear!

Others affirm that the usage of the phrase became more prominent following 9/11 as America became more willing to recognize the sacrifices of those sacrificing their time, energy, finances, family alliances, and personal faith to keep freedom alive and well in this region of the world. Still others affirm it may originate as far in the…

The New Year is upon us. It came with the same expectations and newly found resolutions as all others have before it. What a time! What an opportunity! What a grace! I will not ask the ceremonious phrase of, “What are your New Year’s Resolutions?” I would rather ask, “Would you like the hand of the Lord to be with you in 2026?” I assume most of us would answer in the affirmative but not truly understand what the phrasing…

Jesus, in Matthew 16:18b (NKJV), stated, “on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it”. By providence and declaration from Heaven, our Lord died and completed the work of the Father in establishing salvation by faith in The Church (Acts 2:47). Over time, the Apostle Paul and others planted or established other congregations around the world, furthering the Gospel message unto all those who believed and desired salvation through obedience.
