Easily the biggest sin I deal with, and easily the most destructive, and I would guess you are close to the same.Let me ask this one major question before getting into this more. What has man done for you or given you that they are so worthy of your affection? What has man done for you [...] -

I wrote this paper for a recently seminary class. It is pretty lengthy, but I loved writing it, if you have time, enjoy:-) Trinity in Marriage INTRODUCTION There are several mysteries in the Christian faith that are hard to explain in human terms. Some of them include Jesus being 100% man and at the exact same time being 100% [...] -

John 1:14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory , glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth . We’ve all been there. Someone asks our opinion and we want to be truthful but we also don’t want to offend. The scenario is cliché on [...]

Have you seen the ads for “Quantum Jumping” that constantly come up on internet ads? When I was young and naive, it was bunk like this that got me into a quasi-New Age cult. (Read my testimony page.) Here’s the Real Quantum Leap: John 11:25-26 “Jesus said to her, ‘I AM the resurrection and the life. He who [...] -

Okay, I am writing this knowing that I probably don’t have this whole idea completely understood (obviously)! I definitely haven’t perfected it and would love some dialog as to whether or not you think this is right, mainly because I don’t wanting to be teaching truth if it is not complete truth, that’s scary (James 3:1).

Toriano Mayo wrote a new blog post: Why Do You Try to Save Yourself by Works: Yes You Christians 1 year, 5 months ago · View
You know, something has been striking me recently as sort of surprising, and really disturbing. There are so many people who claimed they are saved by grace, but then they go on living, as if they were saved by works. We see this same problem in Galatians, and for some reason we think we are far [...] -

Perhaps you’ve heard the cliché “the oldest lie in the book” referring sometimes to “the check’s in the mail” but “the oldest lie in the book” is literally in the Book of Beginnings, the book of Genesis. It is spoken by the “father of lies”, satan. Satan’s opening line, posed as a question (Gen 3:1), [...]

I wanted to ask everyone’s thoughts on John 20:8-9 which says: “Finally, the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went inside. He saw and believed. (They still did not understnad from Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.)” These verses are talking about John arriving at the empty tomb, going [...]

I just love the way John doesn’t mention the name of the Word until right near the end of the passage. Its very dramatic when he finally speaks the name ‘Jesus Christ’ – like a film trailer when all the action is building up and then the hero is finally revealed explicitly. Lovin it.
