Free Study Tools and Restrictions
Anything on this site is free. We do not charge for the proclamation of the Gospel. We do request
that you honor varios copyrights if they exist. Some articles are from other sites that provide free articles as long as you use the entire
articles, not just pieces of them. Those articles taken from other sites will be marked so that you will know where they are from.
Please visit their sites for information about proper use of their product. For the rest of the information on the site, if it is
not marked otherwise, Jason Sparks is the author or speaker. At no time should any information on this site be sold to others.
Outreach
Our aim is to help people understand the Bible better and grow closer to God and others in the process. To assist in that
aim, we offer free Bible studies on a variety of topics. In fact, we will even pay postage if you study through correspondence (though
email is the best way for us).
If you have questions, we can help there too. We will gladly research questions and issues and
give you a balanced, biblical answer regrading spiritual matters including God, church, the family, social life--generally anything
of moral, ethical, or spiritual nature. If necessary we will even develop a special study series just for you. We want to help.
If you live in Hope Arkansas or in the area, we especially invite you to correspond with us--but we will help anyone that asks no
matter how far away from us geographically.
There are no bad questions. You will never be solicited for money--we pay our own
bills. Even if you don't have any specific questions, you just want to get to know the Bible better, e-mail Jason today and let's
get started!

President Roosevelt made the famous proclamation" "There is nothing to fear except fear itself." In many ways this statement is true.
We are a nation that values bravery. We root for the underdog who valiantly fights against the odds. We see the bumper stickers advertizing
the brand name "No Fear" and many people do not even realize they are advertizing a product. They just like the idea.
But fear
is not evil. It certainly has a place in life. For example, it is a great motivator! Click the link below and read more about this
emotion and how we should respond to it.
It has often been stated (in numerous ways) that truth is relative. Recently talk show host Bill O'Reilly spoke with an atheist and
got into a small debate about the existence of God. In his response Bill said that the belief in God was true to him even if it was
not true to the atheist.
This shows a lack of understanding about the nature of truth.
That is not being overly critical
of him--he is no different than most religious people on the planet.
Is truth relative? Join us in a study of the nature of truth.
The link below takes you to a transcript of a radio broadcast by Jason Sparks dealing with the nature of truth. There is a whole series
devoted to it it you like that one.
