Quotes of Note:




‎"The church and university can kiss and make up. Not Naturalism and Theism...Genesis 1 cannot be made to teach evolution--period.

In the First Century a basic faith was established. lt was not to be changed but rather sought after (Jude 3). ~Thomas Weisser

The idea of a situation in which faith is possible is only a way of stating the facts of a case in which the following two propositions hold good and are equally true: only he who believes is obedient, and only he who is obedient believes. ~Dieterich Bonhoeffer

I sought for the greatness of America in her harbors and rivers and fertile fields, and her mines and commerce. It was not there.

The Bible, "tells how for the world's redemption God entered into history, the eternal came into time, the kingdom of heaven invaded the realm of earth, in the great events of the incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection of Jesus the Christ. The first recorded words of our Lord's public preaching...'The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has drawn near; repent and believe the good news." ~F.F. Bruce
