    The Book of Job Can't Be Literal

    Some of the worst theology I've ever seen comes from a literal reading of the Book of Job. Job is the only book in the Bible where angels are called "sons of God." Many Christians today would consider that to be blasphemous. It is also the only book in the Bible that identifies angels with...

    Ephrem the Syrian on Sorrows meme

    I ran across this meme when looking at my Facebook notifications and it got me to thinking. I know of a number of Christian friends who would hate it especially coming from Charismatic Protestant backgrounds etc. so what do you think about it?

    So sorry I have to ask this: what do I do about unconscious sin?

    Hi there, I have come at this, every way I can think of - and I am just not dealing with it. When I was a teenager, I was listening to heavy metal music (that I knew my parents (Christians) would not approve of. I feel asleep listening to the music and then all of a sudden woke up and said the...

    Our Adversary

    “So I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, as well as a partaker in the glory that is going to be revealed: shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight, not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you; not for...

    The Great Falling Away In The End Times

    This word is four paragraphs long, so if you are simply into a quick one or two liner this is not for you. However, if you are interested in the great falling away taking place today in the world this word is for you. The Bible predicts a great “falling away” from God in the end times. “Now...

    The Problem Of Evil

    Points of consideration: (All arguable, of course) God has created His beings with intellectual ability and creativity. Lucifer created the idea of rebellion—specifically, the notion that a created being can govern himself and/or others better than the Creator could/would/does—in his own...

    Praying for Relief

    Psalm 143:1-4 ESV Hear my prayer, O Lord; give ear to my pleas for mercy! In your faithfulness answer me, in your righteousness! Enter not into judgment with your servant, for no one living is righteous before you. For the enemy has pursued my soul; he has crushed my life to...

    The One Who Does

    My passage of scripture for today is taken from Matthew 4, which is concerning the three temptations of Jesus by the devil in the wilderness. So, as I began to pray and to ask the Lord Jesus what he would want me to learn from this passage today, he brought to mind this scripture in 1 John 2...

    God is Able!

    Ephesians 3:7-13 ESV Of this gospel I was made a minister according to the gift of God's grace, which was given me by the working of his power. To me, though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, and to bring to...

    Let's Get Serious!

    1 Thessalonians 5:1-3 ESV Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need to have anything written to you. For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. While people are saying, “There is peace and security,” then sudden...

    Fake News...good News!!

    Fake news: Ye shall be as gods knowing good and evil (Genesis 3:5). Good news: Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures. He was buried and was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:3-4).

    Love Your Enemies

    Anyone who keeps up with the news today can easily see how the world has ramped up their hatred toward both Christians and Jews. From religious extremists to liberal atheists the attacks on those with Judeo-Christian values have grown in number and in intensity. Death threats have become actual...

    We Must Know...

    We must know that the person who is not born-again, a new creature in Christ, led by the Holy Spirit, is, according to God’s own word, a hater and enemy of God. (John 3:3 - Romans 1:30 - Romans 8:7, 14 - 2 Corinthians 5:17). We must know that such a person is under the dominion of disobedience...

    Has the war between Satan and Michael happened already?

    Revelation 12 7 And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, 8 but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. 9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan...

    Contradiction Between II Samuel 24 and I Chronicles 21

    Some people on Christian Forums tell us that God dictated every word of the Bible. This is not a very sensible interpretation. In my experience, the people who say that they believe every word of the Bible aren't logical or consistent, so they leave us with muddled results at best. One reason...

    Part 8 - The Ministry Of Jesus

    "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom His favor rests!" (Luke 2:14). That is what the angels were singing when Jesus was born. God's plan for the salvation of mankind continued to move forward as His son who is to be the savior of all who believe was about to begin His...

    Part 2 - Mankind's Fall From Grace

    Part 1, "In the Beginning: God's Perfect Creation," illustrated creation from the very beginning and concluded with a discussion on Satan's evil plot to destroy the Creator's perfect work. "The one who practices sin is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the very start. This is...

    Part 1 - In The Beginning: God's Perfect Creation

    In one's attempt to understand God's plan for mankind's salvation it is important to start at the very beginning of time. Time is a relative term, especially when it comes to understanding the need for God, the creator of all things, to create a plan designed to rescue us from eternal damnation...

    Under Attack!

    Psalm 23:1-3 ESV The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Life has its ups and downs. Trials come, and trials go. And, our...

    Before creation

    The Bible begins by telling us how God created the earth. But what was he doing before? God is eternal so surely the universe we live in is not the first of God’s works and it won’t be the last. Some people think Heaven will be boring because we will have nothing to do. In fact we will have...
