Leviathan: The Mythical Sea Monster  The Bible, a rich tapestry of history, poetry, prophecy, and wisdom, contains various references to enigmatic creatures. One such creature is the Leviathan, a powerful and mysterious being described in several passages. The Leviathan has intrigued scholars, theologians, and laypeople alike for centuries. Some have speculated that it could be a prehistoric version of a whale, and organizations like Answers in Genesis have explored this possibility within a biblical creation framework. Biblical References to Leviathan The Leviathan is mentioned in several books of the Bible, with the most detailed description found in the Book of Job. Here are some key scriptures from the King James Version (KJV): Job 41:1-34 : This chapter provides the most comprehensive description of the Leviathan. The creature is depicted as a fearsome, sea-dwelling beast that is invulnerable to human weapons and breathes fire. Ca...

  Yesterday, an LGBTQ group hosted a “pride” parade in Washington, D.C., urging people to contact their legislators to pass the radical LGBTQ agenda. The U.S. House now has 212 Democrats (plus three Democrat delegates) who have already signed on to support HR 15, the so-called “Equality Act.” This is every Democrat in the House. From our experience, some Republicans bowed to the LGBTQ agenda (like Elise Stefanik who suddenly became the fourth-highest-ranking Republican in the U.S. House), and now this bill is dangerously close to passing. If this bill passes in the House, the chances of it passing in the U.S. Senate are very high. The bill’s main sponsor, Rep. Mark Takano, boasted: “I fully intend to pass a full-strength, undiluted Equality Act into law.” HR 15 is not about equality — if it were, the bill would not expressly state that the Religious Freedom Restoration Act shall NOT be a defense! This is the most in-your-face attack on religious freedom to ever come out of Congress...

 This will be my first blog post and I wanted to write about a topic I think is important. I hope someone will get some needed information from it. Are We Living for Christ? We all know that to make it to Heaven we must be saved by Jesus Christ. Repent of our sin and walk away from it. But some people seem to think that just because they said a little prayer and asked Christ to come into their hearts that they are good to go. I'm here to tell you that isn't the case at all. The typical thing that happens is that people say that prayer and then continue sinning afterwards thinking the entire time that they are good to go. They accept Christ but never walk away from sin. Here's an example; I know people who accept Christ in their hearts but still gamble and live with a person and have sex out of wed lock. This sin is called fornication.  There's a difference between slipping up and then quickly repenting and resolving it, and just thinking God will give us a pass on these...
