    Understandable Pain, Unacceptable Behavior

    “Just because your pain is understandable, doesn’t mean your behavior is acceptable.” – Steve Maraboli. Genesis Chapters 4-7 How long would it take before the ugliness of sin caused major tragedy? Not long, not long at all. The ugly effects of sin bend mankind toward wicked deeds...

    The false Church thinks forgiving the anti-Christ, means forgiving the Devil?

    Hi there, So this is the litmus test, for any believer (in principle): if you understood you were forgiven, even to the point that you forgave what the anti-Christ did, would you forgive the Devil? The problem is, if you would forgive the Devil, what would you forgive the Devil for? He doesn't...

    If We Say We Have No Sin, We Deceive Ourselves

    The scriptures clearly tell us, "There is no distinction, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus." (Romans 3:22-24). Therefore, we know that Jesus did not die in vain, but instead He died to set...

    You Loved Me (Song)

    On November 27, 2019, the Lord Jesus gave me a poem to write entitled, “You Loved Me.” So, I posted it on the internet. Then, one of my fellow Christian bloggers and friend, Tosin, read the poem.

    Foot in Mouth

    Tonight I had one of those real life lessons taught to me. I will not share the details of what took place, but I will just suffice it to say that I said something I wished I would not have said, and I felt badly afterwards that I said it, and so I apologized for it and for my insensitivity...

    Sin, guilt, condemnation and the age of innocence

    Assumptions: At the end of the age, God will judge mankind. If man is found guilty, he will be punished. We know that all men will be found guilty because all have sinned. In the gospel, Jesus assumes our guilt to himself and imputes his righteousness to us. It seems like there are at least two...

    Abiding in Love

    1 John 4:7-12 ESV Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.
