But even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are blessed. And do not fear their intimidation, and do not be troubled, but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you yet with gentleness and reverence; and keep a good conscience so that in the thing in which you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ will be put to shame. 1 Peter 3: 14-16
It is written that faith comes by hearing…hearing through the word of Christ. My own life testifies to this eternal truth; countless seasons of discontentment and or discouragement met their brutal demise and bloody death by God facilitating the hearing of His word proclaimed or from the counsel of another exhorting the name of Jesus
Can you imagine the despair in the room? Put yourself in the shoes of the students in that classroom as they watched their teacher drop. As the gunman shouted to the Christians to make themselves known! What would you do?

We condemn network news media as false & fabricated and then cite it as a reliable source to make a point; we condemn the use of social media by monitoring and using social media. We indict those who court attention and we court attention to bring attention to those who court attention.

THEY ARE GONNA WANT TO KILL YOU…PERHAPS LITERALLY. Featured
Written by goodlightprojectThe bible is saturated with people of God chosen by God to steward and proclaim His message. Not their message HIS MESSAGE. The message of God’s redemptive work: the gospel. The message of judgment, repentance, and the warning to live a life worthy of the Gospel. Noah wasn’t rude but for 120 years they ignored the message and the world
10 lessons learned from my 1st year in Pastoral Ministry by Jordan Standridge

Laughter hides their silent cries,
Only Jesus

Written by goodlightprojectSome of the world’s most staunch atheists have been repeatedly asked where human beings derive values, ethics, and morality from. Richard Dawkins, a well-known atheist, says that society develops and cultivates social norms on its own.

Mourn and Weep: a messy Life with a Great King.
Written by goodlightprojectEnergy spent looking internally for answers to the hardest spiritual conundrums we face are futile. We are constantly confronted with the reality of sin; our sin or the sins of others can instantly set us back spiritually and emotionally. It is imperative the church has the right perspective on relationships, finances, politics, church, and God.
Back in 2012 I decided to create a website for christian apologetics and a place for believers to work through social and spiritual issues through the lens of scripture.
