Many people think their life is just to have success and fun, then they die and there is nothingness. But actually our life is how we prepare ourselves for judgment, the eternal rewards or punishments we shall experience in the unending afterlife. This is why Jesus said Judas will wish he had...

For myself, the reality of God, His actual existence, is proven by the vast universe that is so complex and precise, it could not have just happened with no Creator. Secondarily, I know He is real when I read His Word and it resonates in my heart. The Spirit bears witness with my spirit, my...

Please re-state what you specifically want God to communicate to you. That He is real? That He is in control? That you can trust Him completely? That He truly loves and forgives you? Sometimes, in moments where I think I’m too far gone, remembering horrible things in my past, I beg God to...

You cannot have tangible. God is Spirit, not material. I wish God would sometimes manifest Himself in a physical form or in an emotional reality, but this happens rarely, and neither you nor I are probably worthy of it. 2 Corinthians 5:7 For we walk by faith, not by sight. Romans 8:24-25 For...

Like I said, the rainbow now primarily signifies the LGBTQ agenda, and that’s how most everybody will understand it. To call it the Rainbow Study Bible is an unfortunate choice. Confusion can result. There is a Rainbow Bible for the LGBTQ community. So the Rainbow Study Bible could be perceived...

Not anymore. Rainbow is now pervasively perceived as homosexuality friendly. The LGBTQ community has hijacked the rainbow and are using it so much, no Christian organization or ministry can use it without appearing to support the gay-trans agenda. Quite a shame, but that’s how images evolve...

A First Baptist church in my town is said to have a female associate pastor in a same sex relationship. It is the church where my first wife and I got wedded. I was thinking about attending it, until I heard this. I recently attended a Presbyterian church that has lesbian deacons. I also...

Why are these churches ignoring clear Bible teaching? Romans 1:26-28 26 For this reason God gave them over to dishonorable passions. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27 Likewise, the men abandoned natural relations with women and burned with lust for one...

I prefer the King James Version. But I think it is beneficial to also read other versions, because they can give us a fresh nuance or angle on verses we might be overly familiar with. Even the Message, Amplified Bible, NIV, Cotton Patch, Jewish Study Bible, and First Nations versions can be...

I donate to Moody Media as an endurance partner with Erwin Lutzer’s Running To Win ministry, to Chip Ingram’s Living On the Edge ministry, to whatever church I attend, and sometimes to local Christian charities. My giving does not all go to a church.

Hospitals are big business operations. If the continuationist Christians went to the hospitals and started healing people, they would likely be banned for interfering with medical establishment corporate profits. Could be very dangerous for them.

It will require pastors to stop buying into the cessationist attitude. If they just did what the Bible tells them to do, like call for the elders, anoint with oil, and pray the prayer of faith, instead of the prayer of uncertainty. Ananias was no apostle or pastor, but he miraculously restored...

@Charlie24 - Choosing to accept a free gift is not paying or working for it. You answered your own question. “When we accept the free gift by grace through faith…” If I offer you a box filled with millions of dollars in cash, you would need to take it from me. If you just stared at it and...

As a child, my atheist parents sent me to Methodist church Sunday school. As a teenager, I attended a Mennonite church camp where I responded enthusiastically to the gospel message fully explained. I joined this church, but was not completely impressed with it, though I loved its spirituality...

Not one single Bible verse says “Christ Death was only for the forgiven of mankind.” I John 2:2 He Himself is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours, but also for the sins of the whole world. John 1:29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb...

There is not one single Bible verse that permits or encourages us to pray to any entity other than God. Not to angels, or departed loved ones, or deceased saints, or Mary, or Joseph, or Moses, or Elijah, or Isaiah, or St. Anthony, or the Apostle Paul. No one in Acts or church epistles prayed to...

Hyper-Calvinism is ideal for timid folks and lazy types. Historically, hyper-Calvinism has contended that the Holy Spirit regenerates the elect apart from the hearing of the Gospel and that one can be regenerate without believing—perhaps without ever believing. They argue that Gospel preaching...

Luke 1:48 For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. We Protestants and Baptists seem to have an overwhelming fear that paying any attention to mother Mary will result in elevating her too highly. But treating...

I prefer calling Mary mother of Jesus. Eastern Orthodox theology states that Mary is called Mother of God to emphasize that Jesus is God. Better would be Mary Mother of God the Son.

@Silverhair You nailed it. If you have to be saved before you can hear and believe the gospel, what gets a person saved? It’s like saying you must have already repented before you can repent. @Brightfame52 You promote an anti-evangelism, turning salvation upside down. The Bible clearly states...
