Last week at Missouri State University, a student asked me, “Why do you believe in God?” This young man introduced himself to me earlier in the year as being an atheist (and even included his sexual preference which I didn’t ask about). But last week in addition to wanting to know if I believe in science (which I do – biblical science), he also wanted to know: why do you believe in God? [Read more…]
Many people in America love money. Did you know the Bible says the love of money is the root of all evil? God doesn’t need money and He sure doesn’t worship it.

So it appears that you have the pride part and many of you accuse my friends and I of being prejudiced. You call us homophobes. Nothing could be farther from the truth. It’s out of our love for God and love for our neighbors that we come out here witnessing today. The social clubs that join hand in hand with you don’t love you – at least not with godly love. Jesus is the Truth and godly love always, always speaks truth. [Read more…]
