At the first of the year, I started a Bible reading plan that would take me through the Bible in one year. There are several different reading plans people use to read through the Bible. Some sort the books by chronological order. Others arrange the schedule so that one reads a portion of both the [...]

A Noble Reception of the Gospel
Posted on September 14, 2010 at 7:37 am by Andy Sochor
After being run out of town in Thessalonica, Paul was sent to Berea. Here he continued doing the very thing that had previously stirred up opposition against him – teaching the gospel (Acts 17:1-5,10). Fortunately, these individuals in Berea were “more noble-minded” than the ones Paul encountered in the last city. What was it that [...]

He does not expect us to take a “leap of faith” — choosing to believe something, even though there is no evidence upon which to base our belief. Instead, He has provided [...]
