Christianity is a monotheistic religion based on the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, as set forth in Scripture, tradition, experience, and practice.
The most common translation of 2 Timothy 3:16 is similar to the King James Version, which reads, “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness” (2 Timothy 3:16 KJV). But is this really correct? The English Revised Version of 1885 corrected this…
By calling ourselves Progressive Christians, we mean we are Christians who: 1. Believe that following the way and teachings of Jesus can lead to experiencing sacredness, wholeness, and unity of all life, even as we recognize that the Spirit moves in beneficial ways in many faith traditions. 2. Seek community that is inclusive of all…
"I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go: I will guide you with my eye" (Psalm 32:8). I'm afraid that most people have been told a lie. God's plan is not to make you happy and healthy. God's plan is to test you and form you into the image…
"Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God" (Matt 3: 4). Many people act as if after the Bible was completed, God stopped speaking. This is because a lot of people misunderstand the Bible's true purpose. And this, in turn, has led many people…

"The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom." (Prov. 4:7 NIV). In order to get wisdom, you need to first know what wisdom is. Unfortunately, this is harder than you might think. There is no agreement on what wisdom is. Wisdom is not knowledge. Knowledge is the acquisition of facts and information. Wisdom is not…
"Conversion is conversion from a self-centered person to a God-centered person." - E. Stanley Jones Conversion is not optional. Jesus was clear, “Truly I say to you, Except you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven” (Matt 18:3). The Apostle Peter said the same thing, “Repent…
The Nicene Creed We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made,…
"Being then made free from sin, you became the servants of righteousness" (Rom 6:18). The Greek word that is translated as sin is hamartia. It is usually defined as “missing the mark.” Which gives one the picture of aiming an arrow at a target but missing it. This is not what it means. Sin is…
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures: he leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul: he leads me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yes, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will…
