Traveling the world and listening to what "Christians" believe to be truth concerning their "faith" is like listening to a world full of contradictions. Jesus taught His disciples to be like-minded, but just as the religious Jews who confronted Him during His earthly ministry today's so-called...
The term “Christian” is only used three times in the New Testament. First, in Acts 11:26 it states, “The disciples were first called Christians at Antioch;” secondly, in Acts 26:28 states, “Then Agrippa said to Paul, ‘Can you persuade me in such a short time to become a Christian?;” and finally...
Many strive to maintain a righteousness acceptable to God guided by well-established biblical Christian morals and values. This is precisely what the religious Jews were doing at the time they confronted Jesus for violating their own well-established scriptural morals and values. However, Jesus...
“While He (Jesus) was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many people saw the signs He was doing and believed in His name. But Jesus did not entrust Himself to them, for He knew them all. He did not need any testimony about man, for He knew what was in a man.” John 2:23-25 Jesus said, “I am the...

The scriptures tell us, "By this we can be sure that we have come to know Him: if we keep His commandments. If anyone says, "I know Him," but does not keep His commandments, he is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But if anyone keeps His word, the love of God has been truly perfected in him...
