Recorded history may be more awash with opinion than fact.

Interview With The Editor of the Apologist
Your insight for a blog about "life on God's terms", can you tell us what was your inspiration was or how this came to you? I see so many people today who only want to accept God on their terms.

Kingdom Assignments
Everyone has a different calling and purpose in God's Kingdom. Though there may be many ministers or teachers or worship leaders, they are each different. Moreover, there are tasks that God assigns that we might never consider an actual calling of God. For example, there are those who watch, wait, and worship. God's society is… Continue reading Kingdom Assignments

Prayer Group
I've been in many prayer groups, most were great. We had a small one at work that did exploits in the Spirit among people, organizations, crossing boundaries.

The Believer’s Victory Story
I've heard many people say it and I have experienced myself - When God chooses to do something He often involves people, although our part is always very small.

Trump Speaking Out
Many people, even those who support President Trump, are put off by his responses to those who falsely accused him. This is a departure from some past Presidents, particularly George W.
