Today’s devotional and study is from the Colson Center for Christian Worldview. I have used their materials often because I agree with their view most of the time. Today is no exception. While this article focuses on the importance of Creeds, I think it could be expanded to include Catechisms and Confessions as well. Why … More Devotion/Study – “THREE C’s” – 01/22/2026
October 16, 2025 by Steve The Exclusivity of the Gospel Charles Spurgeon, et al. The message of the gospel stands as a divine declaration of absolute truth in a world that hates absolutes.

COMMENTS Why do we need Evangelism? For me, the answer is simple: without it, I would still be mired in my own sins. There were a few Bible verses, studies, sermons, and such that worked upon my stone-cold heart. One of these was John 3:19, which led me to realize that I (and all sinners) … More Devotion/Study – “Evangelism” – 07/16/2025
