Is Your Religion Worthless?

“For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if though be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision” (Romans 2:25). I’ve moved on to reading the Book of Romans, and this verse really stuck out to me.  Here, Paul is speaking to the […]

Maturing In Righteousness

“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Rom 3:23). So, I was having a conversation with an old friend the other day, and this issue about the fact that we are all awful sinners, and none of us is good, came up.  It […]

The Better Covenant – Part Two

Last week, I wrote a post to show that Christians have been called to a far better covenant than the old one God entered with the Hebrews.  I lamented that too many Christians do not realise the beauty of the new or understand their liberty in this better […]

Faith Does Not Eliminate Doubt

Can we agree on this?  Please?  Like, this has to be the most basic level of common sense…but like all common sense, it is quite uncommon to find someone who truly understands and appreciates this truth. In case you are struggling to understand how the existence of faith […]

The Better Covenant

“But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.  For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second” (Heb 8:6-7). I […]

Three Questions on Biblical Inerrancy

This post was taken entirely from a comment I made on The Naked Convos, in defense of my post The Classic Conversion Mistake, which was republished and renamed The Gospel Truth.  I think these are good questions that all true Biblical inerranists need to contemplate and find answers […]

In My Name

“If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it” (John 14:14). This saying of Jesus is much misunderstood, but it is so simple to comprehend.  Many respond to this message by treating Jesus as a genie who grants wishes, as long as they add […]

Predestination and Freewill

Can you believe in one and believe in the other too?  I believe so.  They actually both work together for the glory of God.  One is God’s calling and empowerment, and the other is our choice and will-power.  The Bible says: “And we know that all things work […]

A Rude Awakening

“Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that […]

I Don’t Know

Christians are often regarded as “Know-It-All”s by the faithless, because of the confidence we place in the knowledge of God and all things spiritual.  Maybe it could also have something to do with how we seem to have an answer for everything…or how hard it is to get […]

Discipline and Christianity

The first people to be called Christians were first called “disciples” of Jesus Christ (Acts 11:26).  A disciple can be best defined as a student/follower of a Teacher/Leader, who studies a discipline (profession) to gain mastery over it and become equipped to pass on the training to others. […]
