Almost a 1000 Years Ago Christianity Split in Half

Last updated on: October 7, 2025 at 1:08 am By Mark Wilson

Time is a funny thing. When looking at past events a year can seem like worlds away, yet when you really think about it a year is really not that long ago. When you look at time through the lens of eternity… But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. 2 Peter 3:8 New International Version Four years ago, Kristin and...

Last week I went on vacation. This past week Kristin, my wife and co-author of this blog was in the hospital getting her brain looked at as they take her off some epilepsy medication.

The Polarizing Death of Charlie Kirk

Last updated on: September 15, 2025 at 9:44 am By Mark Wilson

When it comes to reactions to popular conservative superstar Charlie Kirk’s gruesome and unnecessary murder they range from loved and heartfelt to hated and angry. His death has become very polarizing to everyone who religious, non-religious, conservative and liberal alike. It shows in people’s reactions to whom they think killed Kirk. Everybody thinks everyone else is to blame but their own tribe for his murder. A liberal is to blame. Aesthetica@Anc_Aesthetics (Sep 13, 2025) I am now 100% confident that Charlie’s... Read more

Were all part of the same baptized family of believers who hopefully all love Jesus and want to follow and serve him.
