27 Stephen Albi Why Did God Create? Oct Have you ever thought about creation? I’m sure many of us were taught the 7 days of creation (yes, seven days, because God rested on the seventh day, thus creating “rest.”) We can all describe that God created, and honestly, this seems to be all that Genesis is concerned with, that God created. Have you ever wondered why God created anything at all? Let’s look at what we know. Evolution states that everything exists due to a series of random “accidents” and mutations that ultimately result in

03 Stephen Albi What is the Bible? Oct Have you ever thought about what the Bible truly is? Is it just another collection of stories from a long time ago, or is it the Word of God.

26 Stephen Albi What is True Belief? Sep Belief. It is an interesting word. Ask anyone what it means and you will get a myriad of answers. Some say that belief is synonymous with knowledge.

15 Stephen Albi The Importance of Accountability Jun The following is an article I wrote for the local county newspaper on the importance of accountability: For many Christian men, the subject of accountability has been reduced to getting together with another guy for coffee, dancing around the issue through conversation on every other topic, then ending with the inevitable, “Did you struggle with anything last week?” followed by “No.” Pray, pay the check, leave. Perhaps this is why so many struggle with temptation and sin, even though they
