The Book of Jude – Contend for the Faith
Have you ever studied the book of Jude? Do you know where it is located in the Bible? Who was Jude? Jude is a short, one chapter book, located just before the book of Revelation in the New Testament. It may not be a book you have ever studied or even been aware of. Jude was the brother of James and a bond-servant of Jesus Christ.

I Don’t Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist – Do You?
I Don’t Have Enough Faith to be a Atheist This post is going to be a review of the book by Dr. Norman L. Geisler and Dr. Frank Turek. It will also be a blog about Apologetics. I was introduced to Apologetics and to this book a number of years ago when my husband and I took a class on Apologetics at the College of Biblical Studies in Houston, Texas. This was a semester long class and we were not taking it for credit but for our own knowledge, with no college credit expected. The word ‘Apologetics’ immediately causes one to think that a Christian is ‘apologizing’ for their beliefs just based on the sound…
