Do you work on the Sabbath? Do you play on the Sabbath? Do you do chores, or scold your children or spouse, or gossip on the Sabbath? Do you sit back and have a good time, eat, drink, and be merry on the Sabbath? You may think that at least two of the above – playing and having a good time – are acceptable on the Sabbath. … read more
If you have grown up in the church, surely you have heard this verse many times, and you may even have it memorized. It is certainly one of the most famous Bible verses today. In fact, it could be said that the whole chapter of 1 Corinthians 13 is one of the most famous chapters, perhaps because being loved is one of the most important human needs. … read more
Today I couldn’t figure out why the gym was empty on a Saturday at the normal time when it should be full. Tonight I was reminded why – Father’s Day is tomorrow. For many, this Father’s day will be a joyous day as many spend time with their earthly fathers and grandfathers and extended fathers. However, there are also many who will not be having a good … read more
I recently learned about a newish series which was produced in order to help men conquer sexual sin. This program is being marketed to individuals as well as Christian leaders who can use this program to help their congregation or small groups. With today’s sexually depraved society where 60% of people (probably much more) are in bondage to sexual sin, this could be a welcome blessing to … read more
Let’s face it, we are not Jesus. It is one thing for Jesus to hang out with prostitutes, gluttons, and tax collectors (thieves). It is a completely different thing for a Christian to do the same. For one, Jesus is the Son of God. We know that Jesus lived a perfect life completely free from sin. We know that Jesus had a perfect attitude, a perfect heart, … read more
I have a theory that has persisted in my mind over the past week or so relating to a potential spiritual significance regarding the population control agenda that is being pushed by global elites both publicly and in secret. If someone else has put together the same dots, I haven’t heard of it. But when you think about it, it makes perfect sense. First, some background. If … read more
With Easter right around the corner, many Christians are having some times of Biblical introspection. Most of us know the nativity story very well, and even the Easter story very well, but here is one aspect of Jesus’ birth and death you might not know about. Surely as a Christian, or even for those who are not believers, you may have heard of the three famous gifts … read more
If you deny Unconditional Grace and accept that the Bible really does have conditions, such as the 7 (or 10) conditions listed on this website, some Christians might tell you that’s wrong because it means you are trying to “earn” your salvation. Of course, as explained in the previous article, even trying to earn your salvation (which you cannot do) is not going to have any detrimental … read more
Perhaps you are a vehement proponent of the Calvinistic doctrine of Unconditional Grace. The idea that as long as one time in your life you said some words and meant it, that now you are saved and are going to heaven no matter what you do here on Earth. Even ignoring the fact that even requiring you to accept it makes it “conditional” (acceptance is a condition), … read more
I recently heard a Christian teacher say that the trinity doctrine was the one thing that sets Christianity apart from all other religions. In teaching in such a way, teachers like this set the trinity doctrine as a fundamental basis for Christianity – essentially saying that whoever does not accept the trinity doctrine is not a Christian. But is this true? To understand whether or not this … read more
