"Jesus replied: “’Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind." - Matthew 22:37
Many Christians, or those who call themselves Christians, and those who question or believe differently than Christians, often struggle to answer basic questions about this faith.  So we're starting with the basics.  What is Christianity?  What do Christians believe?  And nowhere is what the bible says about these questions better summarized than the ancient creeds of the church such as the the Apostle's Creed, the Athanasian Creed, and ultimately, the Nicene Creed which is still recited by millions of Christians around the world every week.  This creed will guide our discussion and our prayer is that it will bring us, and all of you, deeper into a love for God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, and what He has accomplished to offer salvation and a full, better, more joy and hope-filled life to those who believe!

Donald Trump just gave an "Unofficial State of the Union" address. As expected, the reviews went along with party lines.  Stupidly however, Democrats decided to " take a stand" by not standing for Laken Riley's family and a kid with Brain Cancer. Those reviews weren't partisan. Plus, Zelensky tries to make his own stand in front of the media in the Oval office.

Love him or hate him, Donald Trump is the president once again. Conservatives love to talk about "The Trump Effect". Is it real? Conservatives and liberals can agree on one thing. Donald Trump isn't afraid to say what he thinks. Has he prompted Christians to get bolder too?
