A God chaser is a person whose passion for God's presence presses him to chase the impossible in hopes that the uncatchable might catch him. A child chases a loving parent until, suddenly, the strong arms of the father enfold the chaser. The pursuer becomes the captive; the pursued the captor. Paul put it this way: ‘ I chase after that I may catch that which apprehended me' (Phil 3:12)"

GO TO WEBSITEThis website contains some great information that is relative to the Bible and recent archaeological discoveries. The field of archaeology is often scattered with many diverse opinions regarding certain discoveries until future discoveries bring clarity that most experts would have to agree with. At this point in time, because the Bible itself has been so instrumental in making past discoveries, there are many archaeologists who have a Godless agenda that seeks to find or speculate on any limited discovery in a way that seems to contradict the Bible. That is why it is important to hear the opinions and observations of those who are not set on discounting the Bible. This website is an excellent source for doing just that.
GO TO WEBSITEThere will always be a constant barrage of assaults against Jesus and Christianity until the Lord Himself brings it to an end. In recent years there have been several scholarly books that have had a widespread impact in damaging the faith of many nominal Christians, and in bolstering the confidence of many atheists in their Godless world views. Below (on the left) are listed some of those books that have recently assaulted the Christian Faith. On the right are books written by Christian scholars that refute the contentions of those popular books in a completely thorough and convincing way.
