• There's No Good Reason To Believe The Bible Is Any Different than the Koran, The Book of Mormon, or Any Other Religious Book.

What Is Truth?

“WHAT IS TRUTH?”
-Pontius Pilate, circa A.D. 33

Like Pilate, this question still sounds forth today - both from those who do not believe in Christ, and occassionally from within the hearts of those who do.

How do we know which belief is really true? (Is Christianity really true?)

And then how do we effectively reach others with the Truth?

The Underpinnings of Skepticism

Skepticism is the hallmark worldview of Western secular society. Skepticism strongly influences our universities, the media, and popular culture. But what are the underpinnings of this worldview? What are its shortcomings? How does the Christian worldview answer the questions that skepticism fails to address?

In "The Underpinnings of Skepticism", Mickey Badalamenti, a former skeptic himself, explores these questions and provides a persuasive defense of the historic Christian faith.

A Cause for the Commission - DVD Version

The Middle East conflict is the crucible in which so many ideologies are forged and shaped. The Middle East conflict affects not just the Jews and Arabs directly inolved in the conflict, but also the millions of Jews and Arabs in the United States and throughout the world. But what has been the predominant message from the Western Church during this critical time in human history?

Sadly, the Western Church has not used the Middle East conflict as a vehicle for promoting the Gospel. Instead, the current events have been used predominantly for promoting competing End-Times views. The result has been that Jews and Muslims have been alienated from the Christian message.

At the end of the 2006 war between Israel and Lebanon, Abdu Murray, a Lebanese former Muslim, delivered his message, "A Cause for the Commission," in which he discusses how the real tragedy of the Middle East conflict is not just that people are dying on each side, but that they are dying without knowing Christ. Join Abdu in this DVD version of his message as he challenges Christians around the world to re-focus their message on the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

The Connection - Sharing the Gospel with Your Jewish Friend

"Jews can't be Christians" - "Being Jewish means not believing in Jesus". Do these statements sound familiar? Bruce Rubin, a "Completed Jew" who believes in Jesus as Messiah, explodes the myth that there is no connection between being Jewish and believing in Y'shua (Jesus) as Messiah. Join Bruce as he discusses how to establish "The Connection" between traditional Judaism and the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Illuminate Peace - Jesus, the Gospel, and the Middle East

Perhaps no ongoing conflict has dominated the headlines and the hearts of people around the world like the Middle East conflict. All sides of the conflict express a desire for peace, but they never seem to acheive it. Though the conflict is complex and has many factors, there is a glaring missing ingredient the absence of which perpetuates the hostility between Jews and Arabs.

Just before Christmas, 2006, Abdu Murray, a former Muslim, and Bruce Rubin, a "Completed Jew" shared with the congregation of Genesis the Church discuss the Middle East conflict and how the Gospel provides the missing component to a formula for lasting "peace on earth."
