By Harry Ironside That in me ye might have peace. (John 16:33) How long it takes many of us to learn that peace is found in Christ alone.

LTRJ Note: In the Bible, there is a small book called Philemon, which tells the story of a slave, his owner, and an apostle of Christ who defended this slave.

By the Editors at Lighthouse Trails From the Appendix from Bob Kirkland’s book, Calvinism: None Dare Call It Heresy No subject ever discussed can be more important and crucial in this life than the subject of salvation.

By Ray Yungen Knowing Jesus Christ is not merely religion or spirituality but is rather a personal relationship with Him.

By Roger Oakland Evolution` not only robs God of His glory in creating life, it also destroys God’s purpose of death and God’s plan to overcome it through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

By Judson Casjens For many believers, the doctrines of foreknowledge, predestination, adoption, and election paint a completely distorted picture of God, at least from how God has revealed Himself within His Word.
