    The Rittenhouse trial aside, a question that comes up in Christian circles with respect to self-defense is, do we have a God-given right to protect ourselves and others from harm? Let’s look at what the Bible says.

    My jaw dropped even further when I became educated to the fact that just 20 percent of the Old Testament prophets spoke about His first coming, but 80 percent speak to His second coming.

  • A letter from Hell

    A letter from Hell

    A Letter from Hell! is a very short video that fictionalizes an exchange between a young guy named Josh who resides in hell and his friend Zach who is still alive on earth. Josh’s letter to Zach decries his friend’s neglect where telling him about Jesus is concerned. Josh’s agony and fury at his friend are summed up at the end where he writes, “P.S. Wish you were here.”
