    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.

    What is temptation?

    I have a hard time with understanding temptation.What is the difference between temptation and actually having something bad in your heart? For example, sometimes I am tempted to listen to secular music because some music reminds me of my childhood. If I think that way, but I do not act on it...

    The sin of Pride is very subtle

    While at work, I've often caught myself thinking, "If I'd done this work, it would have been done right!". Now sometimes, this is accurate, but more than once, it's just a reaction I've had because something was done slightly different than how I would have done it, but it was still good. I've...

    Leviticus Drives

    Just to mention of the Book of Leviticus these days, can evoke a groan. We just don’t put ourselves in the shoes of the folks in that book very much. But there is a way to do so, and it gets easier every year in this day and age. It has to do with depression, in other words, the personal...

    Sinning

    I am a sinner. They are not grave sins but nonetheless insults to the Lord, especially since I commit them willingly. I even tend to rationalize them. It makes me highly uncertain about the pureness and prospect of my soul. So I don't deserve to be this Happy Felix I keep calling myself here. I...

    How do you guys repent of sin?

    Everyone defines repentance as a change of mind towards sin where you no longer want to do things not pleasing to God. I feel like I just can't achieve this mind frame. On one hand, I feel God has delivered me from a lot of things. I am no longer involved in gang life, I have let go of the...

    Does forgiveness imply no consequences? Also, does God punish us while we live on Earth?

    These are two questions I've always wondered about, especially since I've heard different answers to them. I wonder if, after asking God for forgiveness, He will personally make sure we still suffer some form of punishment while we are still alive on Earth. I also wonder if asking for...

    Our Yoke Breaker

    Isaiah 9:2 NASB The people who walk in darkness Will see a great light; Those who live in a dark land, The light will shine on them. What is darkness? It is absence of light. It is evil, wickedness, sin, lies. And, who are those who walk in darkness today? According to scripture, they are...

    Have I blasphemed the Holy Spirit?

    I’ve been a Christian my whole life and at 16 it became my own. I loved Jesus I listened to the Holy Spirit and he guided me. Scriptures were opened up to me and I understood. At 17 I slowly started falling into sexual sin. I was homeschooled and never really got exposed to anything so I went...

    There is no sin in love

    When we love, we bless. But those who judge are not content quickly. You must fulfill conditions to receive love. Otherwise, you are the enemy. But love transcends every enmity. When we are in enmity with someone, we must continue to love. I still have to learn a lot in that myself because...

    Speaking about sin or love

    What sometimes makes me sad is the fact that many Christians speak more about sin than about love. They think by talking about sin and seeking sin in everything that they love God. They tell others what sin is and thus condemn anyone who does so. It saddens me that the message of the gospel is...

    The Prodigal Son and the Elder Brother

    This is a thread concerning only those who are saved. So keep this in mind while reading my intellectual offering. Someone indicated in their testimony today that they believed they were a lesser Christian due to their status as a prodigal son. In specific they said: Link - good read. I...

    Taking action yourself and being decieved

    I hear some Christians say: you must not try to change yourself, that does not work. You have to let God change you. I am not behind that reason because I have thought so myself for a long time. And it is true, God often asked me to do this and I do that but I thought, no, I can not. In order to...
