Originally, believers were called the “People of The Way” because Jesus said He was The Way. In John Chapter 14, Jesus declares He is the Way to God. This statement leaves His followers with several questions. Thomas posed the first: “How can we know the way?” Jesus answered, not by telling the disciples that they knew...
Charles Barkley is one of the best - again
I wrote last week about a newer YouTube channel I was watching and wanted to tell you about. When you love sports like I do, sometimes you watch people play and sometimes, you simply listen to people talk about what they think when they watch other people play. For years, the majority of the sports media consumed was created and distributed by journalists. That made sense because until the last few decades, the majority of sports media was written, printed and then read. ...

Hartman column: Living the Christian life requires faith, study, prayer
The Christian life is a straightforward matter. It requires us to confess our sins and seek forgiveness from Christ. There is no other means of obtaining forgiveness apart from faith in Jesus’ work. No amount of religious works or observances can earn forgiveness. Living the Christian life demands faith. We must enter by faith and continue to live by faith. God’s unmerited grace makes the Christian life possible. Paul unequivocally asserts in Romans 1:16 that the gospel of Jesus Christ is the power of God...
