At my dear pastor’s 90th birthday an old youth pastor saw me and said, “I’m surprised you still come here after what you did.”

He had always been really funny when I was a youth so I assumed he was joking but, he wasn’t.

I asked him what on earth he assumed I did that would keep me from coming to church.

He said, “Nothing. It doesn’t matter.” and walked away.

“Nothing.” is right.

There is nothing you can do that would keep you from experiencing God’s grace.

Nothing.

Don’t let the devil or anyone else ever lie to you.

I’m still curious to know what he thought I did and am ever so grateful he and anyone like him is not God. ;)

Foundations of Faith

The basic doctrines, the foundation, of the Christian faith are the subject of this completely online Bible study course.

Foundations of Faith

There are two reasons for failure to live a victorious Christian life. The first reason is that some who are trying to live like Christians have never been born again. They do not understand the basic doctrines of Jesus Christ. The second reason for failure is not going on to spiritual maturity. The focus of this study is that  maturity.

Kingdom Living

All men live in a natural kingdom of this world. They live in a city or village which is part of a nation. That nation is a kingdom of the world. In addition to the natural kingdoms of this world there are two spiritual kingdoms which exist.

Kingdom Living

Every person alive is a resident of one of these two kingdoms: The kingdom of Satan or the Kingdom of God. This study concerns the Kingdom of God. It introduces the two spiritual kingdoms, their rulers, and residents. It provides spiritual keys for gaining access to the Kingdom of God and warns of things which result in being cast out.
