Welcome! My name is Alyssa J Howard, and I am so glad you are here!

The Bible does not come right out and say, "The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are three unique persons but one God." But looking at Scripture from Genesis to Revelation, we can clearly see that the Trinity is ... Read More about Basic Doctrines: Why Do Christians Believe in the Trinity?
As Christians, we serve one God. In fact, it is an essential part of our faith to believe that there is only one true God. One Creator. One Savior. And one King of kings. When it comes to proving the existence of only one true God, we do need to look at Scripture. How did God prove Himself to His people throughout the Bible? For starters, He showed them He was holy. He demonstrated that He was ... Read More about Basic Doctrines: We Serve One God (the case for monotheism)
What is Christian apologetics? The term "apologetics" wasn't something I heard growing up in the church. Perhaps it was thrown around here and there, but I really didn't understand what it meant until college. At its core, apologetics is simply a fancy word for the study of how to defend your Christian faith. But what does that mean exactly? If I'm not someone who regularly debates others or ...
