    Paul’s Famous Speech before the Areopagus, One of my favorite stories

    Paul’s Famous Speech before the Areopagus in Acts 17:-31. This is one of my favorite stories in the New Testament. Why?

    Baptism For The Dead (1 Corinthians 15:29)

    As peculiar as the new practice may have been to the Saints in the first century Church, it was met with incredulity by other Christian groups.

    Paul Rebuked the Evil Spirit in the Damsel

Can we have the spirit of discernment as Paul had with...

    Nivaclé native tribe in Paraguay and The Book of Mormon's Authenticity

    This truly is an amazing story and continues to show the authenticity of the Book of Mormon as true holy writ and its claim that Jesus is the Christ. If establishing the Church in the cities seems almost easy, the challenge is preaching the gospel to those who live far away in the sparsely...

    Christians Only Please..‘Be Ye Not Unequally Yoked Together'

    Paul told the Corinthian converts to the Church, ‘Be ye not unequally yoked together.' Perhaps Paul wanted them to see that religious differences are fundamental differences. Religious differences imply wider areas of conflict. Church loyalties and family loyalties clash. Children’s lives are...

    2 Cor. 11: 14-15…14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

    Acts 12:4 Easter; More Evidence of Tampering With Holy Writ

    Acts 12:4 And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.
