Liberal Christians are professing believers who have or desire more affiliation with the world than they do with Christ. They are easily and often offended by the acts of other professing Christians, who they like to point out to the world as unloving and judgmental, unlike them. Liberal […]
I started writing this comment in response to John’s article, but I thought it might be good for a post in itself. Hi John, While I agree with your sentiments here, I have to say that it is not as simplistic as all that. Yes, God loves all […]
Because of Jesus. I don’t need any more reason to declare the goodness of God in my life! Even if He were to do no other thing for me, the fact that He loved me so much to lay down His life for me, and to give me […]
I offer no translations, no concessions and no explanations. Read these words from Paul, just as they are. Take them as his understanding if you like, but know that he was appointed by Jesus to teach the Gospel…and his ministry was particularly for the Gentiles. If sexual morality […]
Once in a while, something the opposition says is true, and must be carefully considered… However in a state of war, we may prefer to deny the truth in what they say so that we can point out how they missed the mark overall. But, I don’t think people […]
I read something this morning that I would like to share with you all. I hope you will take the time to read it and be blessed by it. It is about the much misunderstood topic of Biblical authourity by N. T. Wright, from his Laing Lecture in […]
Many people think I am nice. You know, because I am Christian, they feel I ought to be nice, friendly and agreeable. And the fact that I am charitable and compassionate magnifies the perception that I am naive, easy and a push over. Resisting other people’s urge to […]
When two people who love each other, decide to live together…they don’t usually think about the times they will quarrel. Or the times they will want to be apart. Or even the times, they will consider hurting one another! They know it might get tough at times, but […]
The reality of the Christian Church today is that we are divided. The issues that we are divided on are so vast, and the fear we have for deception is so strong, that we do not know what to lay down as an opinion and what to uphold as […]
Some of you may be aware that I was once a part of a fellowship that took literally the teachings of Jesus, including the one that is the title of this post, by refusing to work in a job for money. They are/were called the Jesus Christians, and […]
Happy Weekend, y’all. I hope it’s going well. I really do. It’s been a sad week for many of us, with constant news reports about people who we feel had it going for them suddenly giving up and taking their own lives… It makes you wonder, how bad […]
The account of Peter walking on the water to Jesus is very popular. It is used by many Christian ministers to teach why we must keep our eyes fixed on God. I would like to spend some time on it today, to see if there are other lessons […]
Sounds ridiculous right? But that’s exactly what we say in our hearts when we wrestle with God about preserving ourselves, rather than yielding wholly to Him. We want His wisdom alright, but we don’t want to lose the ‘wisdom’ we already have. Rather than present a blank slate […]
Both the people-pleaser and the rebel are alike in that neither are free. They are probably the saddest, most miserable people on earth, because they are slaves to their own imaginations. The former is a slave to other people’s expectations (and spends his/her life TRYING to conform), while […]
That must be the most asked question around. From Atheists to Believers, at any point in time, someone going through a hardship or immense trial is asking – ‘where is God?’. We all sort of expect Him to show up just when we need Him, only when we […]
