Through God’s grace and inspiration, I write posts containing Bible studies, devotions, sermons, testimonies, and posts which strive to answer questions, “What does the Bible say about it?”

The following posts contain information, which is not categorized elsewhere. I hope you find them edifying.

As with all the posts on this website, I encourage you to leave contact me with questions and/or share the information via your favorite social networks.

May the grace of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, be with you always.

In Christ’s service and yours,

Bro. Chris
