They told you gender is a social construct… but why do animals seem to understand their roles better than we do? Today, gender distinctions are under attack like never before.

Genesis 1:27 tells us the truth: Male and female, created by God, with purpose and glory.In this video, we expose the lies, confront the confusion, and reclaim the biblical foundation of gender.

You've learned, you've gained wisdom—but nothing seems to change. Proverbs 4:7 reminds us, “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.” But wisdom without action leaves you spiritually stuck and unfulfilled.

Why Calvinists Get Atonement Wrong What if the cross of Christ was meant for more than the “chosen few”, "Limited Atonement"?

What if justice required mercy? The story of King Zalencus, torn between his duty as ruler and his love for his son, reveals a profound truth: true justice doesn't merely demand punishment—it seeks the highest good for all. This dramatic tale mirrors the heart of the Governmental Theory of Atonement, showing how the cross of Christ upheld God's justice while displaying His mercy. In this video, we explore why sin can't simply be excused, how God's atonement preserves the integrity of His moral government, and why forgiveness requires a cost. Discover how this theory resolves key theological tensions and presents a God who governs with both justice and grace. Ready to see sin, justice, and mercy in a whole new light? Watch now and be inspired by the wisdom of a God who offers pardon without compromising righteousness.
Discover why the Penal Substitution Theory of Atonement might conflict with God's character of justice and love. Was Jesus truly punished in our place to satisfy divine wrath? Or does this theory misrepresent the biblical narrative? Explore a scripturally grounded alternative that upholds God's justice and mercy without moral contradictions. Can sin be forgiven if it's fully punished? Challenge your understanding of the cross in this thought-provoking video.
Why does God require complete devotion from His people? Romans 12:1-2 calls us to be living sacrifices, fully aligned with His perfect will. But this isn't just about personal transformation—it's about our role in God's Kingdom. For His government to be effective, He needs wholly sanctified people, willing to live with unwavering loyalty and purpose. Discover why partial dedication can't equip us for true Kingdom work, and why complete surrender is necessary for God's government to thrive. Hear how spiritual giants who lived in full surrender to the Holy Spirit were able to bring divine power into their world. Ready to be part of God's mission at a deeper level?
God has opened a unique window of mercy for our nation, but will the church rise to the challenge or retreat in comfort?

What if repentance isn't just a “nice to have” but a non-negotiable for true forgiveness? Today's video uncovers why God's own justice demands repentance, and what that means for us. If sin is brushed aside without repentance, God's character and His rule are called into question—could it even mean He's willing to overlook sin without consequence? This isn't just a matter of rules; it's about entering His Kingdom with purpose. Discover why repentance is crucial to God's government, our forgiveness, and the moral fabric of His Kingdom.
Does God really act with reason in everything? Or are there times when it seems like His actions are random?
