Our culture’s continued slide into unbiblical immorality has conditioned many of us to sidestep personal sanctification.

“It is not wrong to have such an intimate relationship with God that you even pray for a parking spot.”

Quotes 0
God welcomes the small requests, not just the big ones. Intimacy with Him means bringing every detail, even a parking spot.

There is nothing “beyond Religion.” Creation is the beginning, and eternity waits at the end.

Quotes 0
No one steps outside God's story. From creation to eternity, every worldview answers to the same Author.

If Unbelievers are right, oh well. If Biblical Christians are right, OH NO! Today is the day of Salvation (2 Cor. 6:2).
