A Open Letter to Afflicted Saints

December 9, 2020 by George Alvarado

To my dear afflicted Saint, I write this with tears that have been recently mixed with emotional pain and grief. I know what it feels like to have people text, email, and call you, and still receive no comfort. I mean, it’s nice to know that people are thinking and praying for you. But the […]

Due Process is a Christian Responsibility

People are innocent until they are proven guilty. The burden of proof in any case, no matter how small, is on the accuser. A carefree approach to justice only leads to greater injustice. God, in His wisdom, gave us instructions and America’s forefathers followed His lead. We find the idea of Due Process in the […]

I know some people, when they hear […]

The New Covenant: Unmixed, Unbreakable, & Unconditional (Part 1)

Reread the title again. Let those words burn into your memory like a branding iron. The New Covenant (NC) that our LORD Jesus Christ inaugurated with his own blood (Hebrews 9:14-15) is unmixed, unbreakable, and unconditional. For some, this may seem obvious. But for the many, perhaps these words have yet to be considered in […]
