Words are Important.
This month's podcast episode is particularly meaningful as it explores how God communicates with us. Within evangelical communities, there can be differing opinions on this subject.
What Salvation is Not.
I'm starting this blog on a negative note, but there's an urgent reason for it. In Matthew 7:21-23, Jesus Christ tells the crowd gathered to hear Him, "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven." While many of you know that Christ came over 2,000 years ago to take away your sins (John 1:29), the scriptures also tell us that He will come again to judge the living and the dead upon His return (Matthew 25:31-46).
Joy in the midst of suffering.
It is a universal truth that we will all experience pain and suffering in our lives, whether it is the result of a physical illness, the death of a loved one, or a difficult life circumstance. Christians can find hope, humility, and joy through their faith in Christ, even under challenging circumstances.
Grace for Humble.
Sin wages war against the members of our bodies. Often it is the source of quarrels and conflicts in many of our lives. It impairs our judgment and motives and causes us to desire what God does not will for our lives as we seek the things that do not endure and draws us further from God.
True and Perfect Love.
Love is an essential and vital part of life, and we spend a lot of time and energy trying to find or define it. But before we look for love in all the wrong places, we must understand what the Bible says about it.
Do you believe what the Bible says about creation?
Understanding what the book of Genesis says about the origin of all things is foundational to understanding the Bible. If chapters 1 and 2 of Genesis are not the truth about the beginning of all things, how can we believe the rest of the scriptures?
Harsh words from God.
The scriptures can contain difficult words that can shock us. The following verses from the Old Testament book of Ezekiel are no exception, as God’s anger is kindled against a disobedient Israel.
Who is Jesus?
In this episode, we go to the Bible and test those that deceive many Christians with a different gospel and a Christ not found in the scriptures.
Can Christians lose thier salvation?
Many Christians struggle with the question of losing their salvation. In this episode, we look to the Bible for answers to this controversial topic.
Did the Old Testament Saints possess the Holy Spirit?
Regardless of era, the ministry of the Holy Spirit has always been to convict the world concerning sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8), gathering for Himself a people. Who, apart from Him, could never enter the Kingdom of God (John 3:5). Only through the divine work of the Holy Spirit can God's plan for the salvation of humanity be accomplished.
Apologetics.
Apologetics is the branch of Christian theology that deals with the defense and justification of the Christian faith. It involves providing rational arguments and evidence for the truth of Christian beliefs and responding to objections or criticisms.
Fundamental, unchanging, and guiding truths.
“The more things change, the more they stay the same.” – Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr
This well-known satirical statement from French novelist Karr in 1849 still rings true today. It serves to remind us that there are always fundamental unchanging and guiding truths that govern so much of our everyday lives.
