Jesus teaches that God has a plan to save mankind. Jesus himself is the crowning achievement in God’s enormously complex plan. Simply put, God loves his creation so much he sent his son to die so that we might live. Jesus was sent by God to save us. “For God did not send the Son into the...

We all know the story of Nicodemus, the Jewish leader who came to visit with Jesus one evening. It’s not clear if he came in the night so no one else would see him, or if this just happened to be the time when Jesus was available. What is clear is he was curious to know more about the...

We all deal with temptation on a daily basis. One of the first lessons we learn from Jesus, is how to deal with temptation. Temptation comes from the world, not from God. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from...

To unbelievers, The Way of Christianity is often seen as fanatical, and that may not be a bad term. In fact, radical and fanatical is precisely the path followers of Jesus need to follow in a world that is largely going in the opposite direction. When believers are born-again, their old life...

Let’s assume that all things created by God are exactly as he meant them to be; therefore, since you were created by God – you are exactly as he meant you to be. You are a flawless design. Now, you might look in the mirror and see something less than what you would describe as flawless...

The true followers of Christ (citizens of the kingdom of heaven) are called to walk by faith and not by sight here on earth. This means we are to walk in a way that is in direct conflict to how we once walked when spiritually dead in our former lives as the unsaved do. Furthermore, we who are...

There’s a battle raging all around us every day. Good and evil are in a constant battle to win the hearts and minds of all of us. In addition to the external battle, this battle also rages inside each of us. Those who have turned their back on God have been overwhelmed by the enemy. Those of...
