“Even though good people may be bothered by trouble seven times, they are never defeated, but the wicked are overwhelmed by trouble.” – Proverbs 24:16

One of my favorite verses in the Word.

I get into trouble a lot, most of it my own fault I like pushing the limits of stuff a bit and in the process blow it here and there.

In Christ, however, we are not defeated. We may get bruised and broken a bit, chastised, for sure, but, always, forever, loved and picked back up, washed and wiped off, then enveloped in His embrace.

Much like Max and Em with Jaclyn and I, one really good hug, a pat on the butt and a nudge in the right direction.

Never defeated.

Never overwhelmed.

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.
