They are typically prayed to for specific ..read more

It’s no secret that Christians often disagree in matters of faith and practice. That’s why there are tens of thousands of different denominations — most of which agree on the core tenants of the faith, but choose to agree to disagree on the non-essential issues. That being said, some individual Christians or Christian churches hold ..read more

Think the Bible is a boring book full of nothing but restrictive rules, tedious genealogies, and outdated laws? Think again! While parts of the Bible can certainly be difficult to get through (especially as a first-time reader, without understanding all of the historical meaning and context), the Bible is also full of helpful wisdom, practical ..read more
