A Lively Stone

         Sola Scriptura      Solus Christus      Sola Gratia      Sola Fide      Soli Deo Gloria

Welcome to my Website

1 Peter 2:5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

This website was created primarily to be an online ministry for the purpose of presenting the Gospel of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior to His purpose, honor and glory.

This site was also created to equip Christians with the knowledge to become better servants of our Lord by providing a source of principle and essential doctrines of Christianity, bible study methods, theology, apologetics (defence of the faith), free Christian resources etc.

Lastly, this site was created as a witness of my personal growth and faith journey in Christ by means of articles and personal doctrinal views on various topics.

A 15 Minute Tutorial on Calvinism

I have created this JavaScript pop-up scroller that opens with the above link and takes you through 20 points of Calvinism from over 80 passages of Scripture. Each box is open for 45 seconds, and there are 20 points.


About Copying and Linking

Even though I have the pages copyrighted, feel free to copy and use anything on this site that you wish for any purpose so long as the material is provided free of charge, please do not try to sell or use this material for profit. A link back and citation is always appreciated but not required.


Scripture References

As you browse the pages of this site, you will notice I have linked all cited Scripture verses to the book and chapter of the Bible so that you can read the verse within context. These reference links will open in a new browser window.

There are many false doctrines on the internet, and almost every one points to Scripture as the source of these doctrines. I believe that any verse that is used to support a doctrine should be read within context to see if this is really the proper meaning of the verse.

Also, all verses of Scripture are rendered in a different color for clarity, with the words of Our Lord in red. You can read the entire King James Authorized version of the Bible from this site using this link:

KJV Index

Acts 17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the Scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
