The Bible declares in Acts 4:12 that there’s no other name under heaven by which we can be saved other than Jesus Christ. But unbelievers as well as some believers from the Jewish roots movement claim that this is wrong because His name is not really Jesus but Yeshua (which

The story of Sodom and Gomorrah has enraptured listeners for millennia. God’s cataclysmic judgment against these very wicked sister cities has been a generational warning flare to repent. It puts on full display what happens when God’s intolerance for iniquity reaches its full measure. But what I find interesting is

Throughout Christian history, Sunday was the newly appointed day of rest known as “the Lord’s Day”. As of the nineteenth century however, the technological
