If you are a Christian and claim that Jesus is your Lord and Savior, then what responsibility do you have towards Him? What does He expect of you, and how does He want you to live? If you read this post, you will know (at least most of what He…

Continue reading →: The Savior vs. Lord Conundrum
When you became a Christian, did you accept Jesus as your Savior, or as your Savior and Lord? I believe there are many people who accepted Him as Savior, but maybe not as Lord. Why? They sought Him as their Savior to receive forgiveness of sins and go to heaven…

Galatians 5:22-24 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. Do you know what the first job was that God assigned to man? Farming (or gardening). In Genesis, God told Adam and Eve…

Continue reading →: Separate and Set Apart
Separate is an important term in the Bible even though it’s not used that often. God separated light from darkness (Gen 1:18), and day from night (Gen 1:14). What God has joined together in marriage, let no one separate (Mt 19:6). Nothing can separate us from the love of Christ…

The amount of anger and violence attributed to God in the Old Testament is a problem for many people. It can prevent non-Christians (atheists, agnostics) from becoming a Christian (“Who in the world would want to worship a God like that?”). But it can also shake the faith of some…

Continue reading →: God’s Warning against Worldliness
My heart grieves when I see young people leave the church and abandon God in order to pursue all that the world has to offer. They are seeking happiness, friendships, and new experiences, and believe they can only find these if they are independent, unconstrained from moral boundaries and free…

Continue reading →: Which Type of Belief do You Have?
In the Bible, there are two types of beliefs. There is a general belief and a saving belief. A general belief does not save a person from (the penalty of) their sins; a saving belief does. I am afraid that there are many people who think they are a Christian…
