Faith? What is it?

December 15, 2020April 15, 2021 / Christopher Banks / Leave a comment

What is FAITH? “Preachers” talk about “Faith” in Jesus? Does the Bible teach it is some cognitive recognition of the fact that Jesus is the Son of God?

Blessed are the Peacemakers

September 12, 2020November 28, 2020 / Christopher Banks / Leave a comment

“Blessed are the PEACEMAKERS for they will be called the children of God.”-Matthew 5:9 Notice Jesus didn’t say “peaceKEEPERS.” There is a huge difference in the two terms. A peaceKEEPER is a cowardly, passive nature that is tolerant of negative behavior, so as not to have to address it and feel uncomfortable in so doing. … Continue reading Blessed are the Peacemakers
