Beloved, while I was giving all diligence to write unto you of our common salvation, I was constrained to write unto you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered unto the saints, (Jude 1:3).

God has called upon Christians to go out and proclaim the faith to those in the world (Matthew 28:18-20, Romans 10:14-17), and to encourage those who are in the faith (Hebrews 10:24-26). The material linked below goes toward that goal: matters of the faith, with Scriptural analysis and interpretation, so that people may better understand this precious faith once delivered to all.

While it is true that many other sections of this website are devoted to matters of the faith, I hope that you find here highly relevant and perhaps more specialized examinations of certain matters of the faith. Please feel free to visit the main page, or the links on your left, to examine other matters presented on this website.
