How to Manage Your Christianity
July 22, 2008
Once you are reborn, or become saved, you come under the leadership of God, the Father. You become part of His family… and an heir. You now qualify for all that is His. According to Jesus, no one can legitimately enter, except through Him (Jesus). He is the only way in… but, there are many who will try to call you out. They will try to get you to leave the family of God and you get you back into the world. Whether they’re friends of yours or not, Jesus calls them “strangers”... Read more »

The Danger of Being Self-Sufficient
July 21, 2008
Trying to be independent and self-sufficient seems to be the standard mode of operation for a large portion of humanity. As a group, we tend to admire those who can fend for themselves. Their strength to provide for their own needs and rise in the ranks of society, science, or commerce gives them a place of prominence in our collective consciousness. We, after all, love a winner. However, there is a danger in being such an individual. Though they have been blessed with temporal strength they... Read more »
Why Creationism Is Wrong
July 18, 2008
Fourty-five percent of the American population believe that God created humans and placed them on the Earth less than 10,000 years ago. It is an incredible statistic. That’s 135,512,978 people in the USA who believe the Earth is 10,000 years old, twice the population of the UK. The question of faith has always been a contentious, and interesting one. Causing more wars than anything else in history, religion has certainly been one of the more interesting phenomena that humanity has created for... Read more »
Understanding The Negative Impact Of One On Many In The Bible
July 18, 2008
It is a principle of the Scriptures that the individual can affect the community in either a positive or negative way. For the later, Achan serves as a prime example. His rebellion against the decree of Yahweh affected the whole nation, putting an end to the surge of excitement surrounding the fall of Jericho and foreshadowing the eventual fall and corruption of the entire nation into apostasy. We find the story of Achan in Joshua 7. The triumphant Israelites, fresh off the effortless slaughter... Read more »
I Want To Know My Future Part Two
July 17, 2008
My grandson fully dressed in cap and gown proudly walked across the stage to receive his diploma. He was now officially graduated from pre-school. As he received his diploma he was asked one question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Without hesitation he clearly stated, “A prophet.” The audience applauded his choice and he joined the rest of his fellow graduates, who had aspirations of being firemen, horseback riders, rock stars, mommies, and policemen. A... Read more »
Secularism and the Abolition of the Future
July 17, 2008
The future has been abolished! Does that statement seem outlandish? Let me explain. Secularism, whether it’s called Secular Humanism or atheism, is the belief that there is no God and no accountability to God in the afterlife. To the secularist death results in the ending of consciousness. Secularists believe that humans evolved from pond scum and end up rotting in the grave. Hence there is no future for the individual human being. Secularists also claim that there is no future for humanity... Read more »
Why Sanctification Is So Painful
July 15, 2008
Sanctification is an important topic in the Christian faith. It is the basis of much confusion among its adherents, often resulting in much internal angst. Misunderstanding in this area can even be an indication that an individual is not walking in the Christian faith. Let us first examine how the sanctification process can be misunderstood, causing a level of anguish amongst Christians. One of the basic principles behind authentic, orthodox Christianity is that those saved by God will sin less... Read more »
Christianity is Not a Religion
July 14, 2008
Have you noticed that the world wants to believe that people are good? Even Jesus said, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God” (Mark 10:18). The bottom line is we are NOT good, and we can never become good. Romans 3:12 tells us, “All have turned aside, together they have become useless; there is none who does good, there is not even one.” And Psalm 53:3 says, “Every one of them has turned aside; together they have become corrupt; There is no one who does...
