Why I Believe
http://www.rbvincent.org/whyfaith.htm
Something happened to me, and I simply chose to believe. But once I came to faith, the faith made perfect sense to me.

http://www.rbvincent.org/militaryservice.htm
Should a Chirstian serve in the military? The Bible does not allow us to sit in judgment of our government when it comes to obeying orders that do not force us to sin. We must obey an unjust government no less than we must obey a just government. But we must never obey an evil order, whether that order comes from a relatively benign or relatively evil government. May a believer serve in the military of the United States? May a believer serve in the military of Great Britain? In the Bible people sometimes...
